Award winning author and historian Diana Preston discusses her latest book
Eight Days at Yalta
‘Eight Days at Yalta’ depicts the meeting in the final winter of the Second World War between Winston Churchill, Franklin Roosevelt and Joseph Stalin in the Crimean resort of Yalta.
Over eight days of bargaining, bombast, and intermittent bonhomie they shaped the post-war world.
Diana explores which of the three leaders emerged the victor, whether the outcomes might have differed and shows how what happened at Yalta still resonates.
Members may book up to three guests.
