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'.

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.
