I’ve been reading Antony Beevor’s one-volume history of the Second World War, and it sheds some interesting light on the rivalries between Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin. Uncle Joe had FDR absolutely snowed...no surprise really that FDR liked Stalin much better than he liked Churchill. Churchill didn’t want to go along with selling Poland out to the USSR but he knew there was no alternative because Stalin held all the cards in Eastern Europe after 1943, and his country had sacrificed millions upon millions of people to stop Hitler.

Stalin played FDR and Churchill off against each other brilliantly...and apparently, he also had Lavrenti Beria’s son in charge of bugging all the rooms at the Casablanca, Tehran, and Yalta conferences so that the Soviets knew all of the private conversations and strategy between the American and British.
