The Russians Often Took Advantage

There's A Myth That Roosevelt Gave Stalin Eastern Europe. I Was With Roosevelt Every Day At Yalta.

We Became Convinced That, Regardless Of Stalin's Awful Brutality And His Reign Of Terror, He Was A Great War Leader. Without Stalin, They Never Would Have Held.

It Never Occurred To Me That We Would Have As Grandiose A Program As The Marshall Plan, But I Felt That We Had To Do Something To Save Europe From Economic Disaster Which Would Encourage The Communist Takeover.

Roosevelt Was Determined To Stop Stalin From Taking Over Eastern Europe. He Thought They Finally Had An Agreement On Poland. Before Roosevelt Died, He Realized That Stalin Had Broken His Agreement.

Conferences At The Top Level Are Always Courteous. Name-calling Is Left To The Foreign Ministers.
