S. M. Plokhy (Plokhii) is the Mykhailo Hrushevsky Professor of Ukrainian History at Harvard University. A leading authority on Eastern Europe, he has lived and taught in Ukraine, Canada and the United States. He has published extensively in English, Ukrainian and Russian. For three successive years (2002-2005) his books won first prize of the American Association for Ukrainian Studies. In the fall of 2009, he was honored with the Early Slavic Studies Association Distinguished Scholarship Award. He lives with his family in Arlington, Massachusetts.
Harvard historian Plokhy (Unmaking Imperial Russia) enhances his stature as a scholar of modern Russia in this convincing revisionist analysis of the February 1945 Yalta conference. Plokhy makes sophisticated use of Soviet sources to make a case that Yalta was anything but the diplomatic defeat for the West so often depicted in cold war literature. He describes Yalta in the context of a clash between different approaches to international relations. FDR was a liberal internationalist. Churchill and Stalin saw the world in terms of power and interests. And with the Red Army only 50 miles from Berlin, Stalin held the trump cards. Plokhy's detailed and highly engrossing narrative of the negotiations shows that the West did reasonably well. Roosevelt's agenda was global. He secured Stalin's commitment to join the war against Japan and participate in the U.N. Churchill, focused on Europe, preserved British interests in the Mediterranean. Stalin achieved recognition of the U.S.S.R.'s great-power status and a sphere of influence in Eastern Europe. The Yalta agreement was not the first conflict of the cold war but just a step toward a cold war that emerged only after three more years of failed negotiations.

作者最後的評判很公允,雅爾塔會議唯有放在曆史長河中去衡量,依據當時的情勢去觀察,纔能被正確認識。纔能破除雅爾塔的諸多“神話”,其中最大的一個神話就是,羅丘被斯大林玩弄於鼓掌之中。看完全書,不難明瞭,他們三人所得的是他們本可以得到的,他們所不能得的則是他們...
評分作者最後的評判很公允,雅爾塔會議唯有放在曆史長河中去衡量,依據當時的情勢去觀察,纔能被正確認識。纔能破除雅爾塔的諸多“神話”,其中最大的一個神話就是,羅丘被斯大林玩弄於鼓掌之中。看完全書,不難明瞭,他們三人所得的是他們本可以得到的,他們所不能得的則是他們...
評分談到雅爾塔有一個很有趣的笑話,相傳當年會議室有人曾經遞給丘吉爾一張紙條,丘吉爾讀後莞爾一笑說,老鷹不會飛齣窩的。恰好當時正是談判正激烈是,這個小小的舉動讓斯大林極其不解。一直到赫魯曉夫訪問英國時,詢問瞭當時的傳紙條者纔知道紙條上寫的是:你的褲子上的拉鏈...
評分又看瞭一遍中信版的《雅爾塔》,與江蘇文藝版的《雅爾塔》相比,兩者至少存在三個方麵的差異:中信版人名地名的翻譯比較規範,後者誤譯太多(參見相應商品的評論);中信版沒有任何插圖,後者附有部分相關照片(這一點我有些搞不明白,為什麼會這樣呢?總共也沒有幾張照片啊)...
評分在這場確定二戰最後走勢及戰後世界格局的著名會議上,丘吉爾的感性和易怒,斯大林的狡猾和強硬,羅斯福的工於心計和理想主義都得到充分展現。圍繞波蘭政體、歐洲解放地區走嚮、聯閤國創立、恢復法國大國地位、巴爾乾的將來、德國賠償和蘇聯對日作戰等問題,三巨頭展開瞭長達8天...

評分冷戰的開端。 政客個人誌嚮和原則的衝突,達成的妥協以及對他人利益的犧牲。 波蘭,東歐和中國的悲劇的起源之一。

評分對當代史的理解,從此書可入門。不知雅爾塔,枉為中國人。美英靠得住,母豬能上樹;蘇俄靠得住,豬全傢都能上樹。總結一句話,隻有相同理念的國傢纔能成為可靠的盟友。
