The critics speak:

“Fascinating and readable accounts of the most important assassinations of history.”

“No flannel. No puff. No speculation. In a word – Detail! Detail! Detail! The obvious and essential are included but what makes this work so irresistible is its sheer enthusiasm for sharing the odd, little known and downright incredible.”

"His book is triumphant in two ways. The first triumph is stylistic. Unlike similar books on the subject Donnelley writes with authority but does not tire the reader with turgid prose. The second triumph is ethical. Donnelley does not allow himself to pander to the constant harpings of conspiracy theorists who see every American assassination as an act of government betrayal."
