Review Quotes:
Praise for The Nazi Conspiracy: The Secret Plot to Kill Roosevelt, Stalin, and Churchill (Young Reader's Edition):
"[A]n entertaining, fast-paced yarn. The account of the 1943 Tehran Conference... paints an engrossing picture of the complex personal and political relationships of the three world leaders. Side stories of contemporaneous events... artfully add drama and emotional intensity. A readable blend of action and historical insight." -- Kirkus Reviews
Praise for The First Conspiracy: The Secret Plot to Kill George Washington:
"Readers who like their histories full of twists, turns, and cliff-hangers will enjoy this romp through the Revolution." -- Booklist
"In brisk, tense chapters, Meltzer [and] Mensch relate a tale of spies and treason, conspiracy and counterintelligence at the start of the colonists' war against Britain... A lively political thriller." -- Kirkus Reviews
"Meltzer and mensch have taken an obscure chapter of U.S. history and retold it as a thriller... they aim to make the past come alive for a modern audience, but readers who enter this literary wayback machine are in for a bumpy ride." -- Newsday
Praise for The Lincoln Conspiracy: The Secret Plot to Kill America's 16th President--and Why It Failed:
"A delightful addition to popular literature on the Civil War era." -- Booklist
"Energetic... A brisk political thriller centered on a nefarious plot to murder Lincoln before his inauguration... A sharply drawn episode." -- Kirkus Reviews
"Meltzer and Mensch maintain suspense despite the known outcome of the story, and convincingly counter claims that Pinkerton made the whole thing up for publicity purposes. Readers new to the "Baltimore Plot" will appreciate this comprehensive and well-written overview." -- Publishers Weekly
