The eagle is the U.S.S.R., the small birds the satellite states of Eastern Europe.
Michael Charlton, a commentator for the BBC, interviews a galaxy of former officials and experts who can speak with authority on what happened at Yalta, on the Sovietization of Eastern Europe, and on the crisis of yesterday, today and tomorrow.
Oral history at its best, largely because of Charlton's skillful guidance of the conversations.
Good deal! Glad you found it. Frankly, I'm amazed that I remembered the title correctly. Let me know what you think of the book when you read it. I hope it has the info you want on Ike.
