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
cat-and-mouse hunt for the greatest assassin of the modern age. A
true maverick with an undeniably 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.
