The 100th anniversary of the start of WWI brought a rash of books on the war. There was a well publicized book by Geoffrey Wawro, "A Mad Catastrophe", which was concerned with Austria and the east. It concentrated only on Austria, covered little over a year, and I found it a bit spotty in parts.
Stone's book remains the most comprehensive treatment of the topic, at least that I am aware of.
This is still the best history of the eastern front during WWI.
