In the closing months of 1943, with the fate of the free world hanging in the balance, three of history's most consequential leaders — Franklin D. Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and Joseph Stalin — convened in the Iranian capital for a meeting that would reshape the course of World War II and lay the foundations of the post-war order. Summit at Teheran: The Untold Story chronicles this pivotal conference with meticulous historical precision, reconstructing the diplomatic manoeuvring, personal tensions, and momentous decisions that unfolded behind closed doors — decisions that millions of soldiers and civilians never knew were being made in their name. Keith Eubank, a distinguished historian of modern diplomacy, draws on declassified documents, personal diaries, and previously overlooked archival sources to present a richly detailed account that cuts through decades of myth and official narrative. His authoritative style illuminates not only the grand strategic bargains struck at Teheran — including the long-debated second front in Western Europe — but also the profound clash of personalities and ideologies among the Big Three. Eubank argues persuasively that Teheran was far more than a wartime conference; it was the crucible in which the Cold War was forged, and its full consequences are still felt today. Readers who believe they know the story of World War II's turning point will find their certainty quietly, irrevocably unsettled.
