About this Event
The remarkable true story of the Allies' secret mission to wartime Moscow.
In 1941, as Hitler invaded Russia, Stalin faced a defeat which would make the Allies' liberation of Europe impossible. To avert this disaster, Britain and America mobilized an elite team of diplomats tasked with keeping the Red Army in the war.
Into the heart of Stalin's Moscow Roosevelt sent Averell Harriman, the fourth richest man in America and his brilliant young daughter Kathy. Churchill dispatched the reckless but brilliant bon vivant Archie Clark Kerr - and occasionally himself - to negotiate with the Kremlin's wiliest operators. This improbable group grappled with mercurial Stalin to make victory possible. But they also discovered that the Soviet dictator had a terrifying masterplan for the post-war world.
Based on unpublished diaries, letters and secret reports, The Stalin Affair reveals the most unlikely - but successful- coalition in history.
