The politics of assassination (A Spectrum book) - Hardcover
Case studies of ten assassinations, including the slayings of Patrice Lumumba, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Jean Darlan, illustrated the varied effects assassination can have. The most common reaction to the death of a leader, state the authors, parallels the smooth transition of administrations in South Africa after the stabbing of prime minister Henrik Verwoerd; civil strife like that in the Dominican Republic following Trujillo's death is a rare exception. Political murder seldom fulfills the assassin's goals, add the authors; the consquences are most often determined by the political stability of a country. In the final analysis, assassination is a random process with unpredictable results.
