Strategic Assassinations explores how targeted killings have shaped history, focusing on the motives, strategic considerations, and political fallout of these acts.
The book argues that assassinations are not isolated incidents but calculated interventions capable of destabilizing governments and altering history.
For example, the book investigates assassinations that triggered regime changes, fueled social revolutions, and redrew geopolitical maps.
The book uniquely examines assassinations as strategic tools with specific political objectives, moving beyond simple narratives.
It uses primary sources, archival records, and scholarly analysis to support its arguments.
The book progresses systematically, starting with core concepts and historical perspectives, then analyzing case studies, and concluding with ethical dilemmas and long-term consequences.
Drawing from criminology, international relations, and sociology, the book enriches its analysis.
It demonstrates how understanding the strategic logic behind assassinations can help policymakers anticipate and mitigate risks associated with political violence.
Ultimately, Strategic Assassinations provides valuable insights into political violence's enduring impact on world events.
