Catherine Grace Katz
Catherine Grace Katz is a writer and historian from Chicago. She graduated from Harvard with a BA in history and received her MPhil in modern European history from Christ’s College, University of Cambridge, where she wrote her dissertation on the origins of modern counterintelligence practices. After graduating, Katz worked in finance in New York City before a very fortuitous visit to the bookstore in the lobby of her office in Manhattan led her to return to history and writing. The Daughters of Yalta is her first book. She is currently pursuing her JD at Harvard Law School.
The Daughters of Yalta: The Churchills, Roosevelts, and Harrimans: A Story of Love and War is the untold story of the three intelligent and glamorous young women who accompanied their famous fathers to the Yalta Conference in February 1945 and of the conference’s fateful reverberations in the waning days of World War II. Katz uncovers the dramatic story of the three young women, Kathleen Harriman, Sarah Churchill and Anna Roosevelt, who were chosen by their fathers to travel with them to Yalta, each bound by fierce family loyalty, political savvy and intertwined romances that powerfully colored these crucial days. Situated in the political maelstrom that marked the transition to a post-war world, The Daughters of Yalta is a remarkable story of fathers and daughters whose relationships were tested and strengthened by the history they witnessed and the future they crafted together.
