Description: The agreements reached by Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and Joseph Stalin at the historic Yalta Conference have been examined in many lights. To many the code named Argonaut Conference has seemed the necessary price of the wartime coalition; to others a form of appeasement, or even a sell-out. This book dismantles persistent misinterpretations and myths that have developed about those three days in February 1945. Soviet, American, and British documents have been examined to create a day-by-day analysis of the Conference which shaped a post-war peace that represented collective security and a plan for self-determination to the liberated peoples of post-Nazi Europe after the end of World War II.
