Ciechanowski (11 cents)

Jan ciechanowski was the Polish ambassador to the United States during World War II, and wrote a book published in 1947 called "Defeat in Victory". I did not read the entire book, but only the first and last few chapters. The implication was clear. At the start of the war, Roosevelt was very supportive of the Polish government in exile. At the end of the war, there was the Yalta conference where a very sick Roosevelt failed to stand up to Stalin with regard to elected governments in Eastern Europe. The Soviets appoint a government beholden to the USSR and no one kicks and screams. Defeat in victory.
