Power. Violence. History—changed in an instant.
From the murder of Julius Caesar to the assassination of John F. Kennedy—and the attempts that continue to shape global headlines—The Assassins traces the individuals who have altered the course of history through sudden, shocking acts of violence.
Drawing on decades of reporting and research, Chicago journalist Patrick Butler examines the people behind these attacks: the lone actors, the ideologues, the misfits, and the true believers. What drives someone to kill a public figure? Why do certain leaders become targets? And why does assassination persist across centuries and political systems?
by Patrick Buter, edited by William S. Bike • ~280 pages • 59 illustrations
