[JamesAPrattIII]

The following are a list of books that deal with the fighting on the Russian front and the Russian war effort during WW I:
The Eastern Front Norman Stone one of the best modern books on the subject. A little technical for some people and not everyone likes it but, it gives you the real story.
The World Crises Volume 6 by Winston Churchill a 1930s account of the Russian front. Somewhat dated but it reads well Volume 5 covers the Russian civil war
The Russian Army in WW I Ward Rutherford a "history light" book compared to Stones "history heavy"
Carpathian disaster Geoffery Jukes a short account of the fighting
Blood on the Snow the Carpathian winter War of 1915' graydon A turnstall a account of of Austrian efforts to relief the fortress of Przemysel in early 1915. It could have been written better. This is mainly from the Austrian side. they tried and failed to breakthrough the Russians and took heavy casualties in the process.

The Russian Origins of the First World War by Sean McMeekin (The Belknap Press of Harvard University Press 2011). A somewhat heavy handed effort principally dealing with policy matters with a decidely anti-Russian slant (Sazonov and Krivoshein portrayed as unprincipled bad guys who, because of the age old Russian desire to control the Dardenelles, precipitated the War by secretly mobilizing Russian troops early). However, there is an interesting discussion of the Russo-Turkish Front and the Russian efforts in North Persia, which is rarely discussed much less analysed. McMeekin has taught in a Turkish University and is sympathetic to the "Sick Man of Europe".  An interesting and different take on the accepted wisdom of the origins of WWI with some relevance to modern times given the results of the Sykes-Picot Agreement partitioning the Ottoman Empire.
