Assassination is as old as politics itself. From the Senate steps of ancient Rome to the crowded streets of Dallas, the targeted killing of leaders has shaped the destinies of nations. The Age of Assassins traces the chilling history of political murder, uncovering the motives, weapons, and consequences of acts that forever altered the course of history. Through sweeping narrative, this book journeys from Julius Caesar's brutal death on the Ides of March to the Cold War's shadow wars, from the fanatic's dagger to the sniper's rifle. It explores not only the moments of violence themselves, but also the aftershocks-the wars sparked, the reforms derailed, the martyrs created. Some killings preserved regimes, others toppled empires, and all revealed the vulnerability of power. Drawing on centuries of evidence across empires, revolutions, and modern democracies, The Age of Assassins reveals assassination as a recurring force that has both silenced voices of change and immortalized them. It is a narrative of power and fragility, of individuals who sought to alter history with a single act, and of societies that still reckon with their legacies today.
