THE DAUGHTERS OF YALTA The Churchills, Roosevelts, and Harrimans: A Story of Love and War

This fascinating audiobook changes the focus from three of the men who helped win WWII to their daughters, whose collective efforts were surprisingly helpful to the war effort, particularly at the Yalta Conference in 1945. In attendance were Kathleen Harriman, Sarah Churchill, and Anna Roosevelt, daughters of the U.S. ambassador to Russia, the British prime minister, and the U.S. president, respectively. Christine Rendel's performance complements Katz's excellent narrative. Rendel's use of inflection and her ability to use tone and emotion to convey the unique dynamic between fathers and daughters bring to life the astute intellects of these women, as well as the ability of their fathers to respect and consider their views, despite the norms of the times.
