In the Crosshairs: Famous Assassinations and Attempts From Julius Caesar to John Lennon

In the Crosshairs: Famous Assassinations and Attempts From Julius Caesar to John Lennon

Star FullStar FullStar FullStar FullStar Empty

(Paperback)-In the Crosshairs looks at attempted and successful assassinations of high-profile celebrities, political figures, religious leaders, and many others. Each chapter includes a compelling account of an assassination (or attempted assassination), with complete details about the assassin, the victim, the circumstances of the attack and the outcome. In the Crosshairs also includes a unique "assassination timeline," a list of other notable assassination attempts throughout history, photos of many of the most infamous assassins and their victims, and rare archival materials, like the John Wilkes Booth "Wanted" poster and excerpts from original police reports. He also presents intriguing details like how President Anwar Sadat probably would have survived if he hadn't taken off his bulletproof vest-he didn't like the way it made his dress suit bulge. This surprising, informative, and intriguing book will find a place on every history buff's bookshelf.

  1. Star FullStar FullStar FullStar FullStar Empty Posted: Feb 24 2006

    I picked this book up a few months ago at a local bookstore for cheap. It's a wonderful little book for anyone that has an interest in assassinations. And not just the big ones like JFK, RFK, Franz Ferdinand, John Lennon, MLK, etc. They seriously have a few pages dedicated on people like Castro, Larry Flynt, Phil Hartman, Rasputin, etc. The book's a little bare-bones on a few stories, but there's enough in there to spark an interest in one and get you researching with other books. If you get the chance, pick this one up.
