Description
Eight Days at Yalta: A pivotal moment in history. In December 1945, three world leaders - Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin - gathered in the Crimean resort town of Yalta. Over eight days, they negotiated the post-war world order, deciding on the final stages of the war against Germany, the governance of a defeated nation, and the structure of the new United Nations. Their discussions would shape the course of history. Diana Preston's meticulously researched account reveals the complex web of alliances, ambitions and rivalries that defined this critical period. The book offers a nuanced portrayal of the leaders' interactions, exposing the tensions and power struggles that lay beneath the surface of their public statements.
