BOOK CLUB

Tuesday, March 9, 2021 6:30 pm EST Book Discussion Virtual Meeting

This month’s selection is Daughters of Yalta: The Churchills, Roosevelts Harrimans: A Story of Love and War by Harvard Club Member Catherine Grace Katz.

The story of the fascinating and fateful “daughter diplomacy” of Anna Roosevelt, Sarah Churchill, and Kathleen Harriman, three glamorous young women who accompanied their famous fathers to the Yalta Conference with Stalin in the waning days of World War II.

Tensions during the Yalta Conference in February 1945 threatened to tear apart wartime alliances among Franklin Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and Joseph Stalin, just as victory was close at hand. Catherine Grace Katz uncovers the dramatic story of the three young women who were chosen by their famous fathers to travel with them to Yalta, each bound by fierce ambition and intertwined romances that powerfully colored these crucial days.

Situated in the political maelstrom that marked the transition to a postwar 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.

US-IRELAND RELATIONS: PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE A Conversation with Trina Vargo Tuesday, March 16, 2021 12:00 pm EST Discussion Begins Virtual Meeting

To mark the global celebrations of St. Patrick’s Day please join us for a special conversation with Trina Vargo, President of the US-Ireland Alliance, an organization she founded in 1998. The conversation will be led by Harvard Club of Boston member and Past President of the Harvard Club of Ireland, Bob Manson.

As Senator Ted Kennedy’s foreign policy adviser, Trina Vargo was instrumental in the controversial effort to convince President Clinton to grant a travel visa to Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams—a crucial step in the Northern Ireland peace process. Vargo served as the Irish-issues adviser to every Democratic presidential campaign from Dukakis through Obama. She founded the US-Ireland Alliance and the prestigious George J. Mitchell Scholarship program, which introduces future American leaders to the island of Ireland. Of the approximately 240 Mitchell Scholars, about one quarter of that number are members of our Harvard alumni community. Vargo has navigated the corridors of power in Ireland and the , experiencing first-hand the deep affection each country holds for the other. She has also seen valuable opportunities squandered— and sabotaged—by those on both sides of the Atlantic who jealously defend their turf against imaginative ideas. Vargo became part of the Clintons’ “enemies list” as a result of her work on Barack Obama’s presidential campaign in 2008. Vargo passionately believes the US-Ireland relationship needs to evolve and to survive.
