Potsdam Declaration.
For two weeks in the summer of 1945, from July 17 to August 2, Harry Truman, Winston Churchill, and Josef Stalin gathered to reconstruct the world out of the ruins left by the Second World War. They met around a baize-covered table in the Cecilienhof Palace at Potsdam, a suburb of Berlin, a place they later remembered vividly for its hardy mosquitoes and muggy heat.; "In Meeting at Potsdam, Charles Mee demonstrates how, with national self-interest the primary motivation, peace was destined to be sacrificed to deliberate discord. If Allied harmony would stand in the way of expanding "spheres of influence," then it would become necessary to maintain the political expedient of aggression. What did each power want, and were these objectives of sufficient importance to warrant forfeiting peace?"--Jacket flap.
