"A truly thrilling expose of the previously unknown Nazi
assassination plot that could have changed history." - Edward Jay
Epstein, New York Times bestselling author of The Assassination
Chronicles The New York Times bestselling author returns with a
tale as riveting and suspenseful as any thriller: the true story of
the Nazi plot to kill the leaders of the United States, Great
Britain, and the U.S.S.R. during World War II. The mission: to kill
the three most important and heavily guarded men in the world. The
assassins: a specially trained team headed by the killer known as
The Most Dangerous Man in Europe. The stakes: nothing less than the
future of the Western world. The year is 1943 and the three Allied
leaders-Franklin D. Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and Joseph
Stalin-are meeting for the first time at a top-secret conference in
Tehran. But the Nazis have learned about the meeting and Hitler
sees it as his last chance to turn the tide. Although the war is
undoubtedly lost, the Germans believe that perhaps a new set of
Allied leaders might be willing to make a more reasonable peace in
its aftermath. And so a plan is devised-code name Operation Long
Jump-to assassinate FDR, Churchill, and Stalin. Immediately, a
highly trained, hand-picked team of Nazi commandos is assembled,
trained, armed with special weapons, and parachuted into Iran. They
have six days to complete the daring assignment before the
statesmen will return home. With no margin for error and little
time to spare, Mike Reilly, the head of FDR's Secret Service
detail-a man from a Montana silver mining town who describes
himself as "an Irish cop with more muscle than brains"-must
overcome his suspicions and instincts to work with a Soviet agent
from the NKVD (the precursor to the KGB) to save the three most
powerful men in the world. Filled with eight pages of
black-and-white photographs, Night of the Assassins is a
suspenseful true-life tale about an impossible mission, a ticking
clock, and one man who stepped up to the challenge and prevented a
world catastrophe.
