In the middle of World War II, Nazi military intelligence discovered a seemingly easy way to win the war for Adolf Hitler. The three heads of the Allied forces - Franklin Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and Josef Stalin - were planning to meet in Tehran in October, 1943. Under Hitler&#39;s personal direction, the Nazis launched &quot;Operation Long Jump,&quot; an intricate plan to track the Allied leaders in Tehran and assassinate all three men at the same time. &quot;I suppose it would make a pretty good haul if they could get all three of us,&quot; Roosevelt later said. Historian Bill Yenne retells the incredible, globe-spanning story of the most ambitious assassination plot ever thwarted in <i>Operation Long Jump</i>.
