I would suggest 'Paris 1919' by Margaret MacMillan. It uses the 1919 Paris Peace Conference as the framework, but it delves into the details of the War to explain how they got to where they were and provide a rationale behind the positions the various countries took at the peace table. It also goes into the consequences of the peace conference throughout the world. The decisions made there had lasting consequences that extended far beyond the rise of Hitler & the Nazis and the Second World War. In places like the Balkans, the Middle East, and Africa the impact of this peace conference are still reverberating today. Note: I listened to the audiobook version of this book.
