Assassinations: The Plots, Politics, and Powers Behind History-Changing Murders

Rate this book
Ruthless killers and murderers for hire: they are here, there, and everywhere. They lurk in the shadows, ready to pounce. They terminate on command. They change the course of the world. From the cunning, calculating, government-trained warriors to the psychopathic, homegrown freelancers, Assassinations: The Plots, Politics, and Powers behind History-Changing Murders exposes the hidden agendas, the open warfare, the cynical preparations, and devastating aftermaths of history's assassinations. You will be immersed in a world that is filled with killings made to seem like suicides, murders that were designed to look like heart-attacks or overdoses, and accidents that, in reality, were carefully orchestrated deaths. Covering 28 assassinations, attempts, and plots, this absorbing book takes an in-depth look at why so many famous and influential figures just had to go. With more than 120 photos and graphics, 'ASSASSINATIONS' is richly illustrated. A helpful bibliography and index add to its usefulness.

Interesting read, especially the last chapter where Redfern talks about a paper Kissinger wrote 50 years ago about over population and how to handle it. What I see going on these days it sure seems like a page out of the Kissinger plan.

It was interesting. I skipped Over the descriptions of animal abuse because really nobody needs to read that unless they’re a psycho perv.
