    The Yalta Conference

    Synopsis

    This collection of essays examines the  wide reaching impact of and debates surrounding the Yalta Conference in Crimea in February, 1945, which brought together leaders of the “Big Three” national superpowers of the World War II era, The U.S., Britain and Russia. A controversial turning point in twentieth-century foreign diplomacy, the Yalta conference is regarded as a point of transition between U.S. and Russian relations: from former allies to  Cold War adversaries. In this volume, Richard Fenno assembles a panoply of critical voices to  investigate questions such as “Was the conference a success?”  The result is a considered attempt to better understand this defining passage in American and Global political history.
