Assassinations: the plots, politics, and powers behind history-changing murders, paperback/nick redfern

Description 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, this tome is richly illustrated.

A helpful bibliography and index add to its usefulness.
