I haven't read MacMillan, but I have read a number of books by David Fromkin, who broadly makes the same point that the interwar years should more accurately be read as a ceasefire. Specifically, his book A Peace to End All Peace is a look at how badly they fucked the Mideast in the negotiations to carve up the Ottoman Empire. Really fascinating how badly they fucked the aftermath of the war in basically all aspects.
