My, oh my... if you are interested in WW1, you should carefully weigh whether you can resist an addiction to watching the YouTube channel "The Great War"... Hosted by a historian named Indi Neidell.. He is a fantastic story-teller and covers the entire war, one week at a time, in 10-minute episodes, from 1914 to 1919. Every theater, every campaign is covered, from the mud of France, to the Alps, Russia, colonies. It is incredibly bingeable. Something you mention above is often highlighted, the disconnect between the doctrines employed by High Commands vs the realities of modern warfare.. the staggering incompetence, the failures to learn from mistakes and thus the repeated failures of strategy and tactics... some of it is soulcrushing to contemplate.
