Consider A Peace to End All Peace by David Fromkin. Recommended by 3 sources.
“Expect a dense narrative history delivered with a clear, assertive voice and close attention to documents and timelines. What works best is concrete, episode-level reconstruction of negotiations and decisions that help explain how specific outcomes happened. The main limitation is repetition and procedural excess: chapters can get bogged down in the mechanics of diplomacy, and the author’s broad judgments sometimes outpace the granular reporting. Lacks hands-on exercises or modern prescriptive guidance.”
