You could try
The First World War: A Complete History by Martin Gilbert. I'm not sure how it reads but my history professor reccommended it and Gilbert is a solid historian. I've done some snooping around and the reviews for it say that it's a bit of a narrative with anecdotal bits and whatnot so I don't know if you're looking for that kind of thing. If it doesn't sound intriguing then maybe try
World War I: A Short History by Michael J. Lyons. It's the same kind of thing but more straightforward and seems to cover more ground as far as social, political, economic and "non-military" factors go.
