Age of assassins - Michael Newton

These
were the crimes that were meant to change the world, and sometimes did.
The book connects the killing of the Kennedys or the murder that
sparked the First World War with less well-known stories, such as the
Berlin shooting of an instigator of the Armenian genocide or the attack
on an American 'robber baron'.
Taking in Malcolm X and Queen Victoria,
Adolf Hitler and Andy Warhol, Charles Manson and Emma Goldman, Tsars,
Presidents, and pop stars, Age of Assassins traces the process that turned thought into action and murder into an icon.

In
tackling the history of political violence, the book is unique in its
range and attention to detail, summoning up an age of assassination that
is far from over.
