About this listen

A deep dive into high stakes killings, conspiracies, and crimes!

Ruthless killers and murderers for hire: they are here, there, and everywhere. They lurk in the shadows, ready to pounce. They terminate on command. And, in the process, they change the course of the world. They are among the world's most cold-hearted, deadly, and emotionless figures. They are assassins, and they have a long history of grievous deeds.

From the cunning, calculating, government-trained warriors to the psychopathic, homegrown freelancers, you can find them all in Assassinations: The Plots, Politics, and Powers Behind History-Changing Murders. Exposed are the hidden agendas as well as the open warfare. The cynical preparations and devastating aftermaths are laid bare.

You will quickly find yourself immersed in a world that is filled with killings made to seem like suicides, murders that were designed to look like heart attacks or overdoses, and accidents that, in reality, were carefully orchestrated deaths.

I found the first 2/3rds very good as it made me think more deeply about historical events. The last 1/3rd wasn’t in the title and it was that topic that disappointed me

Two thirds - one third

Not enough detail and many interesting aspects missed in some of the more well-known assassinations, the narrator sounded as though they couldn't wait to get to the end. the writer gives far too much credibility to some of the more outlandish theories, in order to justify I clueing them in the first place.

a bit of a waste of time.

A bit rushed run-through with no depth.

The first few chapters were ok. But the rest of it was dire. You will be ok if you are prepared to read that the deaths of famous people, leaders, royalty and researchers were at the hands of mind control, little green men, witchcraft and the occult in general. I’m literally rolling my eyes writing this.

It’s a no from me!

I really enjoyed this book. Interesting facts about every assassination and the details surrounding them. I highly recommend this book. The narrator is also really great to.

Worth every penny!
