More About the Book
From The New York Times: 
“The Daughters of Yalta” is Katz’s first book, and gives a “detailed behind-the-scenes account of the conference.” Katz “skillfully marshals diaries, letters, oral histories and memoirs to support her thesis that the pressures of wartime had warped normal familial bonds, so that the Western leaders’ relationships with their daughters had become more like those between business partners than between parent and child.” This eminently readable account is “packed with vivid personalities, jockeying aides and insider observations about a pivotal moment in history.”
