The book details a secret meeting that President Franklin D. Roosevelt had with Russia’s Joseph Stalin and the United Kingdom’s Winston Churchill in Tehran to win World War II.
The Tehran Conference in November 1943 is where FDR, Churchill, and Stalin plotted D-Day and the Second World War’s endgame.

The Cold War begins after FDR dies and the end of World War II, Baier noted, and Stalin backs away from the alliance.
