Overview

A major new history of the eight days in February 1945 when FDR, Churchill, and Stalin decided the fate of the world

Imagine you could eavesdrop on a dinner party with three of the most fascinating historical figures of all time. In this landmark book, a gifted Harvard historian puts you in the room with Churchill, Stalin, and Roosevelt as they meet at a climactic turning point in the war to hash out the terms of the peace.

The ink wasn't dry when the recriminations began. The conservatives who hated Roosevelt's New Deal accused him of selling out. Was he too sick? Did he give too much in exchange for Stalin's promise to join the war against Japan? Could he have done better in Eastern Europe? Both Left and Right would blame Yalta for beginning the Cold War.

Plokhy's conclusions, based on unprecedented archival research, are surprising. He goes against conventional wisdom-cemented during the Cold War- and argues that an ailing Roosevelt did better than we think. Much has been made of FDR's handling of the Depression; here we see him as wartime chief. Yalta is authoritative, original, vividly- written narrative history, and is sure to appeal to fans of Margaret MacMillan's bestseller Paris 1919.

Editorial Reviews

Brian John Murphy
Plokhy tells [his] stories in great detail and with consummate skill, making Yalta a book that belongs not only in WWII libraries, but also in the collections of all who are interested in the mid-20th century. Yalta, Plokhy tells us, was not a peace conference deciding issues between the Allies and Germany. It was a conference about keeping the peace between the Big Three powers themselves. Roosevelt said he was bargaining for 50 years free of war in Europe. He got his wish, but the price was 44 years of what President John F. Kennedy called "a hard and bitter peace," brought about by the bad faith and ideological and political aggression of the Soviet Union.

From The Critics
Harvard historian S.M. Plokhy has provided a rich new narrative of the eight days of meetings in the Crimean resort between Joseph Stalin, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Winston Churchill in February 1945. Drawing upon formerly secret Soviet documents and reports and memoirs from all three sides, he brings the conference and its key players to life, making a familiar story feel lively and fresh…Plokhy's book makes for compelling reading—for its details and drama…
—The Washington Post

    Well worth revisiting Yalta

    Unlike most Yalta Conference books that focus on how ill FDR was going into the meetings, Plokhy focuses on what goals the major players came with and how they ended up. Understanding how much FDR was willing to bargain to get the Soviets to support the UN and join the war against Japan; what he "gave away" is put in better perspective. Likewise, how Churchill's relative influence as an equal among the Big Three had diminished by that time is well treated. Perhaps most interesting is how well Stalin, armed with the results of his espionage, deftly played his hand in those negotiations.

    If you are interested in the politics of WWII, and not just the battles, I would highly recommend this book.

    Very thorough

    As a child of the Cold War who frequently wondered, "how did such a terrible four decades happen", this book gives some answers, with a very thorough and informative description of the Yalta conference: its discussions, what each of the parties wanted, and the outcome.

    Never knew, for example, that it was Stalin who wanted Poland's border with German to be moved as far westward as possible but the western Allies were opposed, giving more territory to a new Communist government. The details are all here.
