Description

A fact-based book that highlights political assassins in history.

The book includes the stories of the assassins rather than just their famous victims.

The book dissects selected political assassinations and and why the assassins acted; detail stheir political goals, addresses why they chose the methods they chose, and describes the ultimate outcome of the assassination.

In many cases, the assassinations were not effective and actually worked against the stated goals of the assassins.

People of questionable sanity and cases where the act was strictly personal are not included.

For the more modern subjects, there is supporting documentation with detailed accounts written at the time in question.

However, with some of the historic cases, specifics on methodology, coconspirators, etc. are not well known or there are conflicting accounts.

In such cases, reasoned dramatizations tare used o ensure the stories are entertaining to the reader as well as educational.The book is organized chronologically with examples from Ancient Persia and Rome and ending with several of the 19th and 20th Centuries' high profile assassinations.

The assassins and the victims are representative of men and women, and eastern and western civilizations.
