520    "While some of the last battles of WWII were being fought,
       U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt, British Prime Minister 
       Winston Churchill, and Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin-the so
       -called "Big Three"-met from February 4-11, 1945, in the 
       Crimean resort town of Yalta. Over eight days of 
       bargaining, bombast, and intermittent bonhomie, while 
       Soviet soldiers and NKVD men patrolled the grounds of the 
       three palaces occupied by their delegations, they decided,
       among other things, on the endgame of the war against Nazi
       Germany and how a defeated and occupied Germany should be 
       governed, on the constitution of the nascent United 
       Nations, on the price of Soviet entry into the war against
       Japan, on the new borders of Poland, and on spheres of 
       influence elsewhere in Eastern Europe, the Balkans, and 
       Greece. With the deep insight of a skilled historian, 
       drawing on the memorable accounts of those who were there-
       from the leaders and high-level advisors such as Averell 
       Harriman, Anthony Eden, and Andrei Gromyko, to Churchill's
       clear-eyed secretary Marian Holmes and FDR's insightful 
       daughter Anna Boettiger-Diana Preston has, on the 75th 
       anniversary of this historic event, crafted a masterful 
       and vivid chronicle of the conference that created the 
       post-war world, out of which came decisions that still 
       resonate loudly today"--|cProvided by publisher.
