From the New York Times bestselling authors of The First Conspiracy and The Lincoln Conspiracy comes the little-known true story of a Nazi plot to kill FDR, Joseph Stalin, and Winston Churchill at the height of World War II.


In 1943, as the war against Nazi Germany raged abroad, President Franklin Roosevelt had a critical goal: a face-to-face sit-down with his allies Joseph Stalin and Winston Churchill. This first-ever 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 explores the great political minds of the twentieth century, investigating the pivotal 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 almost led to a world-shattering disaster.

    So this book did a good job of incorporating the overall history of World War II with the more detailed story of the assassination attempt. I’m a huge fan of history, so this was an awesome format for me. I recommend it to anyone looking to increase their knowledge of the war, and also to those hoping to learn about this little known plot that surrounded the Tehran conference.

    Provides a lot of likely true information about the gatherings of FDR, Churchill and Stalin and it’s context in the war. The major premise of the book about the assassination plot only plays a minor part of the story plus, since the plot never came close to being carried out, if it existed at all, there was no real suspense or climax. However it gave a new perspective on the diplomatic aspects of the war effort.
