Shot, Stabbed, and Poisoned: The Story of Assassination Through the Ages

By Jonathan J. Moore. Per the back cover, "takes an informative no-holds-barred look at the history of assassination, from Ancient Greece to modern times." Includes accounts of "creative weapons, from pen guns to a pot of tea." A fairly well kept large-format paperback; some shelfwear to the spine but otherwise crisp and bright, with bookmark flaps. A nice reading copy.
