Nikolai Tolstoy meticulously uncovers the political machinations behind the 1945 Yalta Agreement, arguing with unflinching conviction that Western leaders knowingly condemned hundreds of thousands of men, women, and children to their fates in order to appease Stalin. Drawing on declassified documents, survivor testimonies, and military records, the narrative presents a damning indictment of Allied complicity, exposing the gap between the era's democratic ideals and its brutal realpolitik. The tone is authoritative and deeply moral, combining the rigor of academic history with the urgency of a prosecutorial brief. Decades after its initial publication, this essential and deeply unsettling account remains a vital corrective to sanitized histories of the war's conclusion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887885365467,"sku":"2026200007207-SECONDHAND","price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/f520cb9e-ecaf-410d-81fb-e931cff29126.png?v=1781747807","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200007207-secondhand-victims-of-yalta","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
