Meeting at Potsdam by Charles L. Mee, Jr.

Meeting at Potsdam delivers a gripping narrative of one of the most crucial diplomatic gatherings of the twentieth century. Charles L. Mee, Jr. reconstructs the 1945 Potsdam Conference, where Truman, Stalin, and Churchill (later Attlee) met to shape the postwar world order. Drawing from diaries, correspondence, and official records, Mee vividly portrays the personalities, tensions, and ideological divides that defined the birth of the Cold War. It is a penetrating account of power, ambition, and the fragile negotiations that redrew the global map after World War II.
