In 1943 only three men stood in Hitler's way; Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin.

Yet when the Nazis found out about the meeting, their own covert plan took shape-an assassination plot.
A true story filled with daring rescues, body doubles, and political intrigue, The Nazi Conspiracy details this pivotal meeting of the Big Three and the deadly Nazi scheme that could've changed history. In page-turning detail, it shows the greatest political minds of the twentieth century at work and reveals how they strategized to defeat the enemy, all whilst coming close to world-shattering disaster.

Reviews / Votes
'A colorful trek through a labyrinth of twists and turns that could have changed history' * Kirkus Reviews * 'Meltzer and Mensch acknowledge doubts about the plot's actual existence yet convincingly argue that it was real, and provide necessary historical context while setting a brisk, thriller-like pace. WWII buffs will be enthralled' * Publishers Weekly * 'Nazis, body-doubles and WWII like you've never seen it. Here's the assassination plot that nearly changed history! Reads like a thriller, but it's all true. One of the best books of the year. Read it now' -- Brian Kilmeade * author of The President and the Freedom Fighter * 'History is full of fascinating twists and near twists, and Meltzer and Mensch are masters of the tales of such moments' -- Jon Meacham * author of Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power * 'Meltzer and Mensch ... give history a sheen of drama that it deserves while leaving the reader much to consider' -- Robert S Davis * New York Journal of Books *More details
