Assassination of Rulers Through the Ages
A sweeping account traces royal and presidential assassinations from 1800 to 1881. It highlights Napoleon I’s near-miss in 1800, Louis Philippe’s 1835 attempt, and the 1881 Czarist plot that killed Alexander II, along with prior and later attacks on Abdul Aziz, Napoleon III, Lincoln, and Victoria. It notes the use of multi-barrel devices, bombs, and lone gunmen, and closes with a section on cinnabar’s link to vermilion and quicksilver mining discovered via Native body paint.
