The Awful End of Prince William the Silent: The First Assassination of a Head of State with a Handgun by Lisa Jardine

The Awful End of Prince William the Silent: The First Assassination of a Head of State with a Handgun by Lisa Jardine. A very short actually more like a long journal article book on the impact of the wheel-lock pistol. Its use in assassination as well as in warfare. This is actually pretty good. The Freudian business about sexuality seemed a little forced but there's only a few pages taken up with it.

Recommended!

Is available through Abebooks.
