The untold story of the three intelligent and glamorous young women who accompanied their famous fathers to the Yalta Conference in February 1945, and of the conference’s fateful reverberations in the waning days of World War II. Tensions during the Yalta Conference in February 1945 threatened to tear apart the wartime alliance among Franklin Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and Joseph Stalin just as victory was close at hand. Catherine Grace Katz uncovers the dramatic story of the three young women who were chosen by their fathers to travel with them to Yalta, each bound by fierce family loyalty, political savvy, and intertwined romances that powerfully colored these crucial days. Kathleen Harriman was a champion skier, war correspondent, and daughter of U.S. Ambassador to the Soviet Union Averell Harriman. Sarah Churchill, an actress-turned-RAF officer, was devoted to her brilliant father, who depended on her astute political mind. Roosevelt’s only daughter, Anna, chosen instead of her mother Eleanor to accompany the president to Yalta, arrived there as keeper of her father’s most damaging secrets. Situated in the political maelstrom that marked the transition to a post- war world, The Daughters of Yalta is a remarkable story of fathers and daughters whose relationships were tested and strengthened by the history they witnessed and the future they crafted together.

Povestea necunoscută a trei tinere fermecătoare și inteligente, care și-au însoțit faimoșii lor tați (Winston Churchill, Franklin Delano Roosevelt și Averell Harriman) la Conferința de la Ialta din februarie 1945, și a impactului decisiv pe care Conferința l-a avut în ultimele zile ale celui de-Al Doilea Război Mondial.„Un tablou plin de viață al unuia dintre cele mai mari summituri din istorie văzut prin ochii a trei tinere femei, fiice ale unor participanți-cheie. Descoperim povestea din spatele culiselor și aflăm detalii fascinante care însuflețesc paginile de istorie." – Erik Larson„Minunat scrisă și meticulos documentată, aceasta este o lucrare extraordinară care revelează substratul uman al politicii… O carte pasionantă, ce aruncă o privire pătrunzătoare atât asupra politicii contencioase a vremii, cât și asupra destinelor remarcabilelor fiice care au participat la eveniment." – Wall Street Journal
