Summary
Summary
In February 1945, near the end of World War II, the three leaders of the Allies--Joseph Stalin, Winston Churchill, and Franklin Roosevelt--met near Yalta in the Crimea to discuss the postwar world.
Three women accompanied their fathers during the critical conference: Kathleen Harriman, a war correspondant and daughter of the US Ambassador to Russia; Sarah Churchill, a Royal Air Force officer and Churchill's daughter; and Anna Roosevelt, Roosevelt's daughter who came instead of his wife.
This historical account is told from the perspective of the three woman, as they work closely with their fathers and have an impact on the Yalta Conference.
