A significant new history of the eight days and nights in February 1945 when FDR, Churchill, and Stalin determined the fate of the world
Picture you might eavesdrop on the dinner party with three of the most fascinating historical characters ever. In this particular landmark e book, a gifted Harvard historian places you in the room with Churchill, Stalin, and Roosevelt as they meet at a climactic turning point in the battle to hash out the terms of the peace.
The ink wasn't dry out when the recriminations started out. The conservatives who hated Roosevelt's New Deal accused him of selling out. Was he too unwell? Have he give too much in trade for Stalin's assurance to join the battle against Japan? Could he did better in Eastern European countries? Both Kept and Right would blame Yalta for beginning the Cold Warfare.
Plokhy's conclusions, based on unprecedented archival research, are shocking. He goes against typical wisdom-cemented during the Cold Warfare- and argues that an ailing Roosevelt does much better than we think. Much has been made of FDR's handling of the Despair; here we see him as wartime main. Yalta is authoritative, original, vividly- written narrative history, and will appeal to supporters of Margaret MacMillan's bestseller Paris 1919.
