Description
The cost of a bullet can be as little as 8 cents. Assassination has long been more common than anyone (particularly government) likes to admit. Now we are entering a new era of assassination where the "8-cent option" has never been more popular. Belfield's darkly fascinating expos of the business, its hired killers and their paymasters includes excerpts from CIA, Al Qaeda and Soviet assassination manuals. It sheds light on the most important hits of modern times. He gives an eye-opening account of how Kennedy made the Vietnam War inevitable by the elimination of President Diem; and clear evidence of assassinations where the official version simply is not true, including Bobby Kennedy and Yitzhak Rabin.ISBN:9780330423151
