Abstract
In this ambitious and wide‐ranging book Fraser J. Harbutt seeks to overturn what he regards as widespread popular misconceptions concerning the “meaning” of the Yalta accords as presented in “conventional” histories. The misconceptions are many, but the most prominent of them is that Franklin Delano Roosevelt betrayed the West to Joseph Stalin at Yalta and/or that his naïveté concerning Soviet expansionism was responsible for creating the conditions that produced the Cold War. The book is organized according to Harbutt's definition of “Yalta” as a three‐stage, “politically transformative event”: the preparations for the conference; the conference itself; and the immediate aftermath. This tripartite division does not reflect the actual attention that Harbutt offers to each stage. Nearly three quarters of the book address only the first stage. Those looking for a detailed reconsideration of the conference itself will be disappointed. Redefining Yalta as an “event” lasting four years reflects Harbutt's interpretation....

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
