Eight Days at Yalta: How Churchill, Roosevelt, and Stalin Shaped the Post-War WorldWhile some of the last battles of WWII were being fought, U. S. President Franklin Roosevelt, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin the so called "Big Three" met from February 4 11, 1945, in the Crimean resort town of Yalta. Over eight days of bargaining, bombast, and intermittent bonhomie, while Soviet soldiers and NKVD men patrolled the grounds of the three palaces occupied by their delegations, they decided,

While some of the last battles of WWII were being fought, U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin--the so-called "Big Three"--met from February 4-11, 1945, in the Crimean resort town of Yalta. Over eight days of bargaining, bombast, and intermittent bonhomie, while Soviet soldiers and NKVD men patrolled the grounds of the three palaces occupied by their delegations, they decided, among other things, on the endgame of the war against Nazi Germany and how a defeated and occupied Germany should be governed, on the constitution of the nascent United Nations, on the price of Soviet entry into the war against Japan, on the new borders of Poland, and on spheres of influence elsewhere in Eastern Europe, the Balkans, and Greece.

With the deep insight of a skilled historian, drawing on the memorable accounts of those who were there--from the leaders and high level advisors such as Averell Harriman, Anthony Eden, and Andrei Gromyko, to Churchill's clear-eyed secretary Marian Holmes and FDR's insightful daughter Anna Boettiger--Diana Preston has, on the 75th anniversary of this historic event, crafted a masterful and vivid chronicle of the conference that created the post-war world, out of which came decisions that still resonate loudly today.

Ever since, who "won" Yalta has been debated. Three months after the conference, Roosevelt was dead, and right after Germany's surrender, Churchill wrote to the new president, Harry Truman, of "an iron curtain" that was now "drawn upon the Soviets'] front." Knowing his troops controlled eastern Europe, Stalin's judgment in April 1945 thus speaks volumes: "Whoever occupies a territory also imposes on it his own social system."

Best phone holder I have ever purchased!
Color: Dark Black, Size: 1 Pack
Hands down the best phone holder I have ever purchased. The ones that stick to the windshield always end up coming loose. This attached to your vent and is super sturdy. Very easy to install and uninstall without making a mess on your window.

Well worth it. Great product.
Size: 1 Kit, Size: 1 Kit
For the inexpensive price it’s worth its weight in gold. I admittedly probably didn’t work on it as long or as hard as I should have, but I still had great results. *** One warning: when it says to “tape up and cover your paint around it” do it! I figured I would just be careful but no I was wrong. It will REALLY damage your paint, so make sure you don’t get any on it. YES- This is the sanding discs too! They have chemicals on them, they are not regular discs. If you do get on paint, clean immediately! My only regret with this project and my fault, not theirs. My headlights went from dingy yellow, to much brighter and definitely more clear. Love the results. Very happy with the purchase.

Great for the price
Size: 1 Kit, Size: 1 Kit
Worked great at clearing my headlights and at a great price, I had used a different headlight kit maybe 5-6 months before and it did not perform as good as this kit did, maybe it was a user error with the previous kit but this one cleared it easily and was very easy to do and had a nice clear shine.

I'm Not Disappointed ...
Size: 1 Kit, Size: 1 Kit
I knew going in that my expectations shouldn't be very high because my car is a first generation 2010 Kia Soul. So its old with 16 plus years of yellowing oxidation and some abrasion. I took a chance with doing this because of the reviews and pictures. To my surprise, it worked better than I anticipated and could hope for. My driver side(left) headlight was horrible but my passenger side(right) wasn't too shabby and didn't require as much care. This would have turned out better if I had power drill attachments of the same sanding grit to do this. My arm is going to be really sore come Sunday. 😆 It wasn't too hard to follow the instructions as they were very simple for the application process. I don't know about the 2 years for it lasting, but for now, its durable. Once I drive at night, I'll be able to But all in all, it worked for me and its better than before I tackled it. All in all it looks good, I feel like I'll have a better beam when night 🌙 driving.
