An odyssey through the art, theory and brutality of modern
political murder by Robert Baer: bestselling author, former CIA
operative, and, yes, assassin. What is the definition of
assassination? Robert Baer's boss at the CIA once told him, 'It's a
bullet with a man's name on it.' Sometimes assassination is the
senseless act of a psychotic, a bloodletting without social value.
Other times, it can be the sanest and most humane way to change the
course of conflict: one bullet, one death, case closed.
Assassination has been dramatised by literature and politicised by
infamous murders throughout history, and for Robert Baer, one of
the most accomplished agents ever to work for the CIA, it's a
source of endless fascination. Over several decades, Baer served as
an operative, from Iraq to India and beyond. In THE PERFECT KILL,
he takes us on a wildly entertaining narrative adventure through a
history of political murder, interweaving his first-hand experience
and his decades-long hunt for the greatest assassin of the modern
age. A true maverick with a captivating personal story, Baer pulls
back the curtain to give a glimpse of the underbelly of world
politics, and the quiet murderers who operate on the fringe of our
society.
