Norman Stone - The Eastern Front is the classic standard, best single volume general history.
Prit Buttar's four volume series is the best overall general history, very comprehensive with a much bigger focus on military action, compared to Stone's which has more time devoted to things like the politics of the factories and how it affected production.
If you want a book, To Conquer Hell is a really good one on the Meuse-Argonne Offensive. For a series of books that cover the Eastern Front (i.e. not just trenches), Prit Buttar's books have been really good so far. I've read the first two, and Russia's Last Gasp is next on my reading list.
BBC's The Great War from the 60s is amazing too.
Another good book on the subject, in addition to the fine examples already mentioned, is the first in Prit Buttar's series on WW1, Collision of Empires
