Blueprint for Armageddon is the name of it actually.
It is a six part series and is approximately 24 hrs in total.
What I found is that most people have a basic understanding of the conflict ie geography and major players etc, so I found I wasn't super confused listening to it like I was with his other ancient history stories.
It dives deep into the history, and often uses quotes of ppl who were there and what there accounts of the events were eg) watching the German troops roll through Belgium in a 24hr continuous line of men or the gas attacks on the battlefields of Verdun.
Its informative, it is interesting and its heart wrenching to the point of tears at times. If you want to put WWI in perspective, this is about as good as it gets.
