Het nazicomplot

Het geheime plan om Roosevelt, Stalin en Churchill te vermoorden tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog Nederlands | Paperback | 9789029099097 | 2023 | 432 Pagina's

Een razendspannend spionageverhaal over de topontmoeting tussen Franklin Roosevelt, Winston Churchill en Jozef Stalin in 1943 – en hoe die bijna uitliep op een catastrofe die de koers van de Tweede Wereldoorlog had kunnen veranderen In 1943, terwijl de oorlog tegen nazi-Duitsland wereldwijd op volle kracht woedde, had de president van de Verenigde Staten, Franklin Roosevelt, een belangrijk doel: een afspraak in levenden lijve met zijn bondgenoten Jozef Stalin en Winston Churchill. Deze bijeenkomst van de drie wereldleiders in Teheran zou overeenstemming moeten brengen over de cruciaalste strategische beslissingen in de oorlog. Maar zodra de nazi’s erachter kwamen dat deze afspraak zou plaatsvinden, beraamden ze in het diepste geheim een dodelijk complot dat de koers van de geschiedenis had kunnen veranderen. Meltzer en Mensch reconstrueren op minutieuze wijze de gebeurtenissen, beschrijven de geheime operaties, afluistertechnieken, boodschappen in code en verkeerd begrepen informatie in een omgeving waarin niemand elkaar kon vertrouwen, en geven een inkijkje in de strategieën van de grootste politieke kopstukken van de twintigste eeuw. In de pers '‘Een spannend spionageverhaal’ Plus Magazine ‘Meltzer en Mensch gaan niet voorbij aan de twijfels over het bestaan van het complot, maar beargumenteren overtuigend dat het echt was, en geven de nodige historische context terwijl ze een bijna thrillerachtige vaart in het verhaal houden. Tweede Wereldoorlog-liefhebbers zullen door dit boek betoverd worden.’ Publishers Weekly ‘Een meeslepend verslag. Een fascinerend en mogelijk controversieel boek.’ Booklist ‘Een kleurrijke tocht door een doolhof aan plotwendingen die de geschiedenis veranderd hadden kunnen hebben.’ Kirkus Reviews

The JFK Conspiracy

Engels | Paperback | 9781250790590 | 2026 | 304 Pagina's

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ¿ AN AMAZON BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR SO FAR 2025From the New York Times bestselling authors of The Nazi Conspiracy and The Lincoln Conspiracy comes a true, little-known story about the first assassination attempt on John F. Kennedy, right before his inauguration.Kennedy, the thirty-fifth president of the United States, is often ranked among Americans' most well-liked presidents. Yet what most Americans don't know is that JFK's historic presidency almost ended before it began-at the hands of a disgruntled sociopathic loner armed with dynamite.On December 11, 1960, shortly after Kennedy's election and before his inauguration, a retired postal worker named Richard Pavlick waited in his car-a parked Buick-on a quiet street in Palm Beach, Florida. Pavlick knew the president-elect's schedule. He knew when Kennedy would leave his house. He knew where Kennedy was going. From there, Pavlick had a simple plan-one that could've changed the course of history.Written in the gripping, page-turning style that is the hallmark of Brad Meltzer and Josh Mensch's bestselling series, this is a slice of history vividly brought to life. Meltzer and Mensch are at the top of their game with this brilliant exploration of what could've been for one of the most compelling leaders of the 20th century.
