Abstract

Three chiefs of state—from London, Paris, and Washington—met in Bermuda early in December for an informal, off-the-record talk. The Bermuda Conference was the Eisenhower substitute for Churchill's original proposal that Malenkov be included in a Big Four meeting. After the Bermuda talks, the three higher-ups issued a brief press release. Churchill and Laniel retraced their steps to London and Paris, respectively, and Eisenhower hurried to New York for a scheduled speech before the United Nations.This article can also be found at the Monthly Review website, where most recent articles are published in full.Click here to purchase a PDF version of this article at the Monthly Review website.
