For as long as the world has had rulers, there have been plots to
assassinate those at the top. Violent death is usually associated
with dictatorships and tinpot regimes. Few people know that Britain
also has a history of political assassination. This book brings to
life the forgotten story of assassination over the last 200 years
in Britain. From Prime Ministers and politicians to princes, lords
and officials of all kinds, Britain's assassination attempts cover
a wide variety of figures in some key moments of history. Hernon
examines the motivations of the assassins - from political
ideologies to simple mental instability. He shows how most attempts
originated from isolated individuals or minority groups, rather
than broad political will. A fascinating account of how the will of
the individual has occasionally and dramatically intervened into
the lives of those in power.
