Assassins

By Patrick Butler

From ancient Rome to the modern United States, assassination has remained one of the most dramatic and disruptive forces in political life. In The Assassins, veteran Chicago journalist and historian Patrick Butler traces the individuals behind some of history's most consequential attacks-- from Julius Caesar to John F. Kennedy and beyond-- revealing the motives, circumstances, and lasting impact of their actions. Blending vivid storytelling with sharp historical insight, Butler explores how lone actors, ideological movements, and unstable political systems have made assassination a recurring instrument of change. Timely and compelling, this narrative history offers a wide-ranging look at political violence and its enduring role in shaping the modern world.
