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.

Upon finishing the book, my first inclination was to rate it three out of five stars. However, I rarely rate books until I have lived with the ending for a couple of days. After finishing the book and thinking about the themes and imagery of the book, I kept coming back to the way the author created beautiful landscapes or terrifying events so vivid the reader feels like they are there with the characters. The character development is well done, while the characterization is consistent throughout the book. Some of the events did not play out the way I expected or wanted, but they were appropriate for the character and the time.

The book was well written; it started slow and took a couple of chapters to decide it was a book I wanted to complete. In the end, I enjoyed the book, but I do not believe it is one I would read again.
