[Song · Rating 5 out of 5]

又是一本绝无仅有的书。作者是罗斯福总统的国务卿，陪同总统参加了1945年2月在克里米亚半岛召开的雅尔塔会议。这本书是作者根据他本人的会议记录写作而成。

书的内容是第一手史料，是现场直击罗斯福、丘吉尔、斯大林三巨头开会协商的全过程，以及他们的重要幕僚人物在会议中的相关表现。

雅尔塔会议商定了联合国安全理事会投票机制，是联合国成立的起点。这是“二战后国际秩序”的开端，也是美、苏、英三个大国，求同存异，为了世界和平而妥协协商的折冲樽俎现场。

作者的记录把读者带到了会议当时，听到三位历史巨人的发言，甚至看到他们的表情动作，身临其境，何其有幸。 在这里，书本变成了真正的时光机，穿越时空，带领读者亲临历史。

天下第一好事果然还是读书。
