Decisions at Yalta An Appraisal of Summit Diplomacy

In this book, the author makes a provocative case for a new viewpoint in the study of Yalta in particular and summit conferences in general. He argues that the Yalta Conference should never have taken place: very little was accomplished there that could not have been handled by the foreign ministers; Roosevelt was mentally and physically exhausted; Churchill was an unwilling participant; and Stalin held Eastern Europe, making accords superfluous concerning Soviet hegemony there.Buhite, Russell D. is the author of 'Decisions at Yalta An Appraisal of Summit Diplomacy', published 1986 under ISBN 9780842022682 and ISBN 0842022686.
