Encyclopedia of Assassinations: Revised Edition

One of the joys of reading a book like this is discovering all the history you didn't know, or didn't know much about. Political evolution goes hand in hand with murder, so a book like this gives a good lesson on world affairs. Pick any flash point on the globe and it is sure to have its share of assassinations. This volume is written in a matter of fact style and can be a bit dry at times. And the author devotes a lot more attention to some entries than others, so some readers will likely be dissapointed. But most will enjoy it and all will learn from it.
