judyward's review against another edition
3.0
This book documents the struggles of President Franklin Roosevelt and, after his death, President Harry Truman with domestic politics, infighting among their advisors, and their World War II allies, Joseph Stalin and Winston Churchill. The key meetings of the Big Three at Yalta (Roosevelt, Stalin, and Churchill) and Potsdam (Truman, Churchill, and Stalin) are discussed in depth because of the importance of the decisions that were made at those meetings that impacted both Germany and post-war Europe. An excellent examination of the major players involved in forming U.S. war policies and planning for the upcoming peace. Very readable and very informative.

I love this political history, which focuses much of its attention on Treasury Secretary Henry Morgenthau, who attempted to take a lead role in deciding how Germany would be punished after World War II. Overall a great read and an interesting and tragic piece of history.
