'We can do what no men have ever done build a world freed from the tyranny of all war.'
YALTA, 4 February 1945: The moment in which our modern world is shaped.
The Second World War is coming to an end and the three most powerful men on earth meet to thrash out the details of peace. There is the cantankerous Winston Churchill, the idealistic but ailing Franklin Roosevelt, and the butcher Joseph Stalin, snake-like in his cunning. They are supposedly allies, but over eight days these men will lie, cheat and deceive each other as they struggle to establish an agreement and secure their places in history.
Meanwhile, as the smoke continues to rise above Europe, a Polish soldier tries to make his way back home. He has cheated death so many times but now his luck is running out, yet he is willing to risk everything to find his daughter who is missing in the ruins of Warsaw. For this man, and many like him, the enemy is everywhere, and it falls to Winston Churchill to stand by his conscience and fight for justice and the principles of civilisation.
Michael Dobbs has written a riveting historical novel that brings the passions of the period dramatically alive. It vividly rekindles not only the perils that lie in store for those who wield power, but also the heroism and suffering of ordinary people caught up in extraordinary events."

'Brilliant full of magnificently dark political characters.' - Daily Mail.
