Notes

Hodgins’ tongue-in-cheek title refers to the Yalta Conference in 1945 when Winston Churchill, Franklin D Roosevelt and Joseph Stalin met to discuss the post-war re-organisation of Europe. The nickname, implying a jocular tone and a certain camaraderie between the leaders, belies the underlying tensions and hidden agendas between these leaders at the end of World War II and on the eve of the Cold War.
