"""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 “[Blum] weaves a fast-paced story of how Nazi intelligence services and special commando units tried to infiltrate an assassination team into Iran…Ian Fleming himself could not have written such an improbable yet actual plot.
