The 10 Greatest Conspiracies of All Time: Decoding History's Unsolved Mysteries

IT'S AN IRRESISTIBLE COMBINATION: Brad Meltzer, a master storyteller, counting down the world's top 10 most intriguing stories--the great conspiracies, from Leonardo da Vinci's stolen prophecy to the Kennedy assassination. Adapted from Meltzer's show Decoded, this richly illustrated collection serves up those fascinating, unexplained questions that nag at history buffs and conspiracy lovers: Why was Hitler so intent on capturing the Roman "Spear of Destiny"? Where did all the Confederacy's gold go? What is the government hiding in Area 51? And did Lee Harvey Oswald really act alone?

  Meltzer sifts through the evidence, weighs competing theories, separates what we know to be true with what's still--perhaps forever--unproved or unprovable, and in the end, decodes the mystery and arrives at the most likely explanation. Or does he?
