Daughters of Yalta. Churchills, Roosevelts and Harrimans: A Story of Love and War

The conference of the leaders of the three countries of the anti-Hitler coalition — the USSR, the USA, and Great Britain — held in February 1945 in Yalta, defined the outlines of the post-war order. The underside of one of the turning points in the history of the second half of the 20th century is conveyed in the book Daughters of Yalta. … through the memories of the daughters of the main participants of the conference — Kathleen Harriman, Sarah Churchill, and Anna Roosevelt. Using archival documents, diaries, letters, and memoirs, historian Catherine Grace Katz reconstructs the events of the eight-day conference in Yalta, painting a mosaic canvas where politics and diplomacy intertwine with human emotions and experiences.
