World War I: A Short History lives up to that name. It is a well written condensed summary of the events from 1914-1919. Norman Stone organized the book based off of year, which helps keep things organized in a rather unorganized war.

For those trying to understand the general flow of WWI this is a great book. If you are looking for an indepth play by play this is not the book. Stone's book, in my opinion, is a great aside to explain the large analytical books that make your head swim.

Overall, this is a well researched, well organized, good book.
