Prit Buttar. Collision of Empires: The War on the Eastern Front in 1914 link Wawro. A Mad Catastrophe: The Outbreak of World War I and the Collapse of the Habsburg Empire link Both excellent works. The second is hard reading, as the incredible incompetence on both sides was nothing less than mass murder. |

I'll second the Buttar and Wawro books. Both are excellent indeed.
Also, I haven't read but it is on my list: The Fortress: The Siege of Przemysl and the Making of Europe's Bloodlands by Alexander Watson. |

The Austro-Hungarian official history of the war has been translated into English and is available online, accompanied by superb maps. An excellent resource for more details. Robert |

Another recommendation for Pritt Buttars series of Eastern Front histories. |

I will second Senator Blutarski's nomination of Stone's book- as a combination of history and analysis, it's the best treatment I have seen of the subject. Monk, do you have a link? I assume they translated the title literally ("Austria-Hungary's Last War")? |
dips his toe into the Russo-Japanese War.
