What's the best WW1 book? I just listened to a great courses lecture series on
World War 1 and I'm kind of on a Great War thing. Any suggestions? I was thinking All Quiet on the Western Front, or Farewell to Arms.

Those are good. Storm of Steel is from the German perspective and is great.

Also Imperial Germany and War, 1871-1918 is a great general overview of the conflict.

I don't know about "best", But I've enjoyed any novel written by a Shaara author. This is one worth consideration WWI

I really enjoyed it because the author does a great job giving reasons why they couldn’t just put the pin back
