I'll nominate an interesting study of the origins of World War I:
The War that Ended Peace: How Europe abandoned peace for the First World War by Margaret MacMillan. Goodreads has an excellent description of the book. MacMillan takes a less Balkan-centred approach than Clarke in his famous study.
It is available in Amazon and Kobo. TWTEP is nearly 800 pages long and on the pricey side hence some might like to get it through OverDrive or a library.
