The Politics of Assassination by Murray Clark Havens, Carl Leiden and Karl M. Schmitt

The Politics of Assassination by Murray Clark Havens, Carl Leiden and Karl M. Schmitt is a rather unsatisfying attempt to analyze the outcome of assassination. The introduction talks about only dealing with heads of state but 4 of the 10 case studies are dealing with assassinations of those who were not heads of state. The case studies are very short the longest around 10 pages for each. There is resort to "what if" theorizing if the assassinations had not taken place but what if scenarios are then criticized in the conclusion.

An interesting idea but lacking in execution.

Not recommended!
