The Daughters Of Yalta

In an interview with Idaho Public Broadcasting's Dialogue Katz described how she lived near a bookstore that was devoted exclusively to Winston Churchill.[1] It was through her visits to that bookstore that she saw the opportunity to review Sarah Churchill's papers were first declassified, leading to the book.

Sarah Churchill was the 38 year old daughter of UK Prime Minister Winston Churchill.[1] Kathleen Harriman, the daughter of Averell Harriman, the U.S. Ambassador to the Soviet Union, was 27 years old. Anna Roosevelt, was the daughter of U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt.

Katz argued that the three women each played important roles in the conference.[1]
