2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Who Killed Who?By Von CouchI picked this book up a few months ago at a local bookstore for cheap. It's a wonderful little book for anyone that has an interest in assassinations. And not just the big ones like JFK, RFK, Franz Ferdinand, John Lennon, MLK, etc. They seriously have a few pages dedicated on people like Castro, Larry Flynt, Phil Hartman, Rasputin, etc. The book's a little bare-bones on a few stories, but there's enough in there to spark an interest in one and get you researching with other books. If you get the chance, pick this one up.2 of 3 people found the following review helpful. LightweightBy Stephen SarricaReads like an extended entry in "The People's Almanac". Superficial treatment of famous cases and too much coverage of non-attempts. Hinckley thinking about going after President Carter gets a full entry.

Assassinations often change the course of history. Here is an intriguing look at dozens of notable assassinations and attempts throughout history, including complete details about the assassin, the victim, the circumstances of the attack, and the outcome. In the Crosshairs also features photos of many of the victims or would-be victims, and rare archival material, including excerpts from original police reports. High-profile celebrities, political figures, religious leaders, and many others have fallen prey to assassins, and many have survived. In the Crosshairs is arranged in alphabetical order, by last name, and includes such details as: On November 8, 1939, Adolf Hitler narrowly escaped an assassination attempt – 12 minutes after he left a room where he was making a speech, a bomb went off.Egyptian President Anwar el-Sadat would probably have survived the assassinrsquo;s bullet on October 6, 1981, if he hadnrsquo;t taken off his bulletproof vest – but he didnrsquo;t like the way it made his suit bulge.Robert John Bardo, the murderer of young actress Rebecca Schaeffer, carried with him to the crime scene a copy of J. D, Sallingerrsquo;s , just like Mark David Chapman did when he murdered John Lennon nearly nine years earlier.From notable murders (Abraham Lincoln, Gianni Versace, and Indira Gandhi) to little-known attempts (George W. Bush, Wild Bill Hickock, and Andy Warhol) here is a surprising, informative, and intriguing book that deserves to be on every history buffrsquo;s bookshelf.
