What is Assassins and Assassinations : History's Most Infamous Plots about?

192 pages : 29 cm, \"A fascinating exploration of some of history's most celebrated assassination plots, this book surveys, case by case, the circumstances surrounding 25 of its most notorious episodes. From the stabbing of Julius Caesar on 15 March, 44BC by his own senators to the controversy surrounding the death of Benazir Bhutto on 27 December 2007, the book chronicles the events leading up to each assassination, its actual perpetration (or attempt, as the case may be) as well as its aftermath. The author also muses on possible alternative courses that history may have taken had certain assassinations not been successful - and how history may have been altered had others gone according to plan. Illustrated with 60 black-and-white archival images, this is a chilling, thought-provoking account of the intrigue surrounding the assassinations of some of history's most powerful figures.\"--Jacket, Includes bibliographical references (pages 185-187) and index, Gaius Julius Caesar -- Thomas Becket -- Jean-Paul Marat -- Joseph Smith, Jr. -- Abraham Lincoln -- William McKinley -- Franz Ferdinand -- Grigori Rasputin -- Leon Trotsky -- Adolf Hitler -- Michael Collins -- Earl Mountbatten --
