"From the New York Times bestselling authors of The First Conspiracy and The Lincoln Conspiracy, The Nazi Conspiracy tells the little-known true story of a Nazi plot to kill FDR, Joseph Stalin, and Winston Churchill at the height of the second World War. In 1943, as the war against Nazi Germany raged abroad, President Franklin Roosevelt wanted one thing: a face-to-face meeting with his allies Joseph Stalin and Winston Churchill. This meeting of the Big Three in Tehran, Iran, would decide some of the most crucial strategic details of the war. Yet when the Nazis found out about the meeting, their own secret plan took shape-an assassination plot that would've changed history. A true story filled with daring rescues, body doubles, and political intrigue, The Nazi Conspiracy details FDR's pivotal meeting in Tehran, and the deadly Nazi plot against the heads of state of the three major Allied powers who attended it. With all the hallmarks of a Brad Meltzer and Josh Mensch page-turner, The Nazi Conspiracy examines the great political minds of the 20th century, exploring the early years of the war in gripping detail. This meeting of The Big Three changed the course of World War II. Here's the inside story of how it all almost went terribly wrong"-- Provided by publisher.

Unsatisfying submitted by GJBarnett2 on February 8, 2023, 2:24pm It isn't until the last chapter of this 335 page book that the authors reveal (SPOILER ALERT) that historians still disagree as to whether the series of events concerning this alleged assassination attempt on "The Big Three," Roosevelt, Stalin, and Churchill at the Teheran Conference in November, 1944 was actually such a plot or merely unrelated events, and/or rumors, and/or a Soviet attempt to spy on Roosevelt or just exactly what, if anything, it was. The "facts," such as they are, are embedded in an otherwise unfocused review of some of the events of the western allies' war with Germany which, regrettably suffers from assignment to an editor who knew painfully little about the subject. Errors, trivial in their own right, such as the repeated used of "Calvary" (the site of Christ's crucifixion) for "cavalry," (soldiers who fight from horseback) leave the reader with little confidence in the text generally and after THE BIG REVEAL that the big draw, the assassination plot, may have been just the equivalent of an over-active imagination, one feels, to say the least, let down. The best part is the back-story of the bickering among the Big Three over the if and when of D-Day. Better books exist. On the whole, read something else.
