    About this audiobook

    Award-winning Harvard historian S.M. Plokhy delivers a "convincing revisionist analysis" (Publishers Weekly) of the February 1945 Yalta conference. Bolstered by Soviet wiretaps, Plokhy's engrossing narrative of Stalin, Churchill, and FDR's negotiations reveals the West did better than previously thought. "An astute reappraisal of the Yalta Conference . Fresh research drives this scholarly study of the complex blend of Yalta's personalities and ideas."-Kirkus Reviews

      Youth Groups Against Hitler

      Jul 7, 2021

      Despite it being mandatory – from 25 March 1939 – for all males aged 10 to 18 to commit to the Hitler Youth, many young people avoided joining, and some even went so far as to form their own rival, anti-Nazi youth groups. The largest of these were th

      This is a competent and detailed study of the conference. Mr. Plokhy is a Ukrainian, and his view is an assessment of then-present realities rather than some of the myths arising from Cold war positions by earlier analysts. This is a good read, with considerable insight. Fans of George Patton could do well to read this book.
    • 4/5
      Interesting new book, filled with thorough analysis of new archives which have been opened only recently. Details about how only so much could be done.
    • 5/5
      This book is the most comprehensive that I have found about the wartime conference at Yalta. It benefits from previously unavailable material released after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, along with access to the records of the conference proceedings released by the other allies. There was no offical protocol ever produced for the conference, so comparison of these sources, along with the diaries of those presence, is essential for a reconstruction of the actual negotiations. Plokhy's story is readable and his analysis thorough and cogent.
