Brian Williams is 83% done with Eight Days at Yalta: How Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin Shaped the Post-War World
The epilogue: the Western leaders did the best they could seems to be the conclusion. FDR was in poor health, Churchill was worried about Britain losing its dominant role and Stalin was determined to surround Russia with friendly states. Stalin was difficult to "control". There was little or no leverage over him because of the strength of the Russian army, particularly in Germany.

Slow going -- story skips around, not focused; dialogue tends to be too chatty.
