Description
Yalta: The Price of Peace by S. M. Plokhy is a landmark book that brings together the key figures of the time to reveal the complex negotiations that shaped the post-war world.
At the heart of the book are the recriminations that erupted at the Yalta Conference, where the leaders of the three main Allied powers - Churchill, Stalin, and Roosevelt - met to discuss the terms of the peace. Plokhy's conclusions, based on unprecedented archival research, challenge conventional wisdom and offer a fresh perspective on the events of that fateful meeting.
Through his vividly written narrative, Plokhy sheds new light on the wartime leadership of Roosevelt, who is often seen as a one-dimensional figure. Instead, the book reveals a more nuanced and complex individual, who made difficult decisions in the face of overwhelming pressure.
