Immagina di poter origliare una cena con tre delle figure storiche più affascinanti di tutti i tempi. In questo libro fondamentale, un talentuoso storico di Harvard ti mette nella stanza con Churchill, Stalin e Roosevelt mentre si incontrano in un momento di svolta cruciale della guerra per discutere i termini della pace. L'inchiostro non si era ancora asciugato quando iniziarono le recriminazioni. I conservatori che odiavano il New Deal di Roosevelt lo accusarono di essersi venduto. Era troppo malato? Aveva dato troppo in cambio della promessa di Stalin di entrare in guerra contro il Giappone? Avrebbe potuto fare di meglio nell'Europa orientale? Sia la sinistra che la destra avrebbero incolpato Yalta per aver dato inizio alla Guerra fredda. Le conclusioni di Plokhy, basate su una ricerca d'archivio senza precedenti, sono sorprendenti. Va contro la saggezza convenzionale, consolidata durante la Guerra fredda, e sostiene che un Roosevelt malato fece meglio di quanto pensiamo. Si è parlato molto della gestione della Depressione da parte di FDR; qui lo vediamo come capo in tempo di guerra. Yalta è un romanzo storico autorevole, originale e vividamente scritto, che sicuramente piacerà agli amanti del bestseller di Margaret MacMillan, Parigi 1919.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Imagine you could eavesdrop on a dinner party with three of the most fascinating historical figures of all time. In this landmark book, a gifted Harvard historian puts you in the room with Churchill, Stalin, and Roosevelt as they meet at a climactic turning point in the war to hash out the terms of the peace. The ink wasn't dry when the recriminations began. The conservatives who hated Roosevelt's New Deal accused him of selling out. Was he too sick? Did he give too much in exchange for Stalin's promise to join the war against Japan? Could he have done better in Eastern Europe? Both Left and Right would blame Yalta for beginning the Cold War. Plokhy's conclusions, based on unprecedented archival research, are surprising. He goes against conventional wisdom-cemented during the Cold War- and argues that an ailing Roosevelt did better than we think. Much has been made of FDR's handling of the Depression; here we see him as wartime chief. Yalta is authoritative, original, vividly- written narrative history, and is sure to appeal to fans of Margaret MacMillan's bestseller Paris 1919. Codice articolo LU-9780143118923
