It is important, in the light of present world history, to know what really happened at Yalta. Now, for the first time, the entire story of these seven fateful days in the history of the world~February 4~11, 1945~is brilliantly revealed by Edward R. Stettinius who, as Secretary of State, sat in on all the meetings which took place, and who, since the death of Roosevelt and Hopkins, is perhaps the only man who can tell all that happened at Yalta. Mr. Stettinius says: "It is not Yalta that is the trouble with the world today, but subsequent failure.".
