Churchill's Triumph by Michael Dobbs

traveller1's review

4.0

A quick, but full read. The semi-fictionalised account of Yalta, where the "Big Three" met to decide the fate of Europe and the world after WW2. Stalin is depicted as an amoral, duplicitous tyrant, bent on controlling Europe. Rooselvelt as a tired and dying president, almost unaware of what was going on around him, and willing to give way to Stalin. While Churchill is shown to be the one moral man present, who desires a better post-war world, but is powerless to prevent the tragedy that would unfold.
