From ancient Rome to the modern United States, assassination has remained one of the most dramatic and disruptive forces in political life. In The Assassins, veteran Chicago journalist and historian Patrick Butler traces the individuals behind some of history's most consequential attacks-- from Julius Caesar to John F. Kennedy and beyond-- revealing the motives, circumstances, and lasting impact of their actions. Blending vivid storytelling with sharp historical insight, Butler explores how lone actors, ideological movements, and unstable political systems have made assassination a recurring instrument of change. Timely and compelling, this narrative history offers a wide-ranging look at political violence and its enduring role in shaping the modern world.

Patrick " Pat" Butler (1940- 2023) was a Chicago journalist, historian, and storyteller whose career spanned more than five decades. He began reporting for the Lerner Newspapers of Chicago and its suburbs in 1967 and eventually became managing editor of a chain of fifty-four newspapers with a combined circulation of three hundred thousand. Butler continued writing for Inside Publications and the Gazette Chicago until his death. The author of several books on the history of Chicago's North Side, he brought the same deep research and global curiosity to his work on The Assassins.
