What readers think of The Nazi Conspiracy, plus links to write your own review.

This book deals with the plan to assassinate Adolf Hitler and describes how the conspiracy against him developed and how it was eventually carried out. Meltzer and Mensch focus on the individuals who were involved in the conspiracy and how they were discovered and punished. The book provides a detailed description of the events and offers new information and perspectives on the whole affair. Overall, it is a compelling and meticulously researched book that provides an interesting perspective on one of the most significant events of World War II.

I really enjoyed the new things I learned about the world before and during WWII in this book. The details about the negotiations between the 3 leaders of the Allies were fascinating. The writing was excellent, and the story kept my interest. However, it was a disappointment to get to the end and find out no one even knows if the assassination or kidnapping was ever even plotted. I would have appreciated it if I had known this up front and the data was then presented in a manner to let me know the story and the authors thoughts as I read.

Still a book I will pass on.

I found The Nazi Conspiracy to be a well-researched and well-organized book. I enjoy learning about WWII and find that much of what I find to read on the topic is repetitive. The Nazi Conspiracy included many details and events I have not read in other sources, such as the war on other continents and in other theaters and the conversations between the Allied leaders. The book flows well and reads more like a novel than a textbook, as often happens with non-fiction. I enjoyed the book and recommend it to anyone who enjoys history.

For people who do not enjoy history books, this story is written in an interesting, readable style. While reading about the conspiracy, the story also tells of the culture and politics of the time. The reality that unchecked power can lead to such oppression, prejudice, and aggression is difficult to understand, resulting in death, destruction, and other atrocities of war. The story includes a fascinating account of the meeting of the Allied leaders, FDR, Churchill, and Stalin in Tehran that includes security issues related to their meeting, tales of lesser-known individuals, the commitment to victory with unconditional surrender, and the importance of structuring a postwar world for peace. For me, this book is a reminder of the importance of remembering history and of having exceptional leaders, especially in trying times.

I really enjoyed this book. I am not a major history fan and usually find it difficult to get through non-fiction books, but this book is the exception to the rule. It reads like a novel...short exciting chapters and simultaneous timelines.
I wanted to read this book because I've read novels by Brad Meltzer and found them to be easy, quick reads. The same applies to this book.
If you have an interest in WWII but find history books boring, then this is the book for you.
I plan on reading his other non-fiction books now because I so enjoyed
The Nazi Conspiracy.
Too bad High School and College history books aren't written like this!!

This book paints a detailed picture and explains the underpinnings of the plot. The author demonstrates the mindset, illuminating the perspectives of each of the axis and allied powers, as well as their leaders. The foibles of the men who were to meet; the long proceedings of arriving there, and ultimately their goals and who they were intertwined with their actions serve as a background to what could have certainly changed the war and quite likely the world.

The Nazi Conspiracy is an interesting story revealing many of Germany's plots during WWII to change the outcome of the war. In particular, Nazi involvement in Iran played a very large role in this novel. Nazi special forces were sensationally successful in rescuing Mussolini during a stage in the war, but they were not able to achieve the same success in Tehran due to the efforts of Soviet and British intelligence services. Overall, the book was a nice review of the course of WWII and added some lesser known facts and stories to the saga.

For those who eschew history, but enjoy a good spy story, this book is for you. And if you enjoy historical works regarding the Second World War, even better. Eminently readable, 'The Nazi Conspiracy' uses the German efforts to assassinate the three Allied leaders at their 1943 Tehran meeting (called to discuss the Allied D-Day invasion) as a framework to recount the personal, political, and military events - for both the Allies and Axis nations - as well as the geopolitical importance of Iran to both sides of the war, a subject that doesn't seem to be addressed in many books about World War II.
