This was a non-fiction history book about the post-WWI Treaty of Versailles which basically set up the world as we know it today.
If this is a topic of interest, and you haven't read it, I also recommend Barbara Tuchman's _The Guns of August_, which focuses on the same time and concerns. It won the Pulitzer Prize for General Non-fiction in 1962.

There's a Kindle edition available: http://www.amazon.com/Guns-August-Ba.../dp/034538623X
