"History is not a list of dates or names of battles... History is about stories. Enjoying them, no matter what the subject matter, is the important factor. That is how we learn. And with learning we can hope not to repeat the same old mistakes, time after time." If this was the overarching goal behind Phil Carradice's detailed account of influential assassinations, then he has achieved it by leaps and bounds.

"This latest volume in a series already reviewed and highly praised in Pilot both confirms that author Dilip Sarkar's energy as a writer and diligence as an analysist and historian continues undimmed...such is the level of insight offered in volume 5 that you, like this reviewer, will inevitably want to have the four previous volumes to hand - and be keeping an eye out for the next."
