eBook 정보

This groundbreaking book delivers the definitive exploration of assassination as a tool of power, control, and statecraft. The Killing Doctrine goes beyond a historical recounting of targeted killings to offer a profound analysis of the human, political, and societal impacts of assassination across centuries. A must-read for historians, political analysts, intelligence professionals, and those interested in international relations, this work unravels the mechanics, ethics, and consequences of state-sanctioned killing in meticulous detail.

Drawing from a comprehensive range of case studies—from medieval Hashshashin operations to modern drone strikes—the book examines how assassination shapes political systems, suppresses dissent, protects economic interests, and influences international stability. Readers are guided through key moments in history, such as the assassinations of Patrice Lumumba, Salvador Allende, and targeted operations during the War on Terror, highlighting how these actions perpetuate cycles of violence, destabilization, and moral ambiguity.

With an interdisciplinary approach spanning history, political science, intelligence studies, and ethics, The Killing Doctrine provides:

In-Depth Case Studies: Analysis of high-profile assassinations and covert operations led by the CIA, Mossad, KGB, SDECE, and more.

Tactical and Strategic Insights: A detailed look at the methods and motivations behind state-sponsored killings.

Psychological and Societal Impact: How assassination creates fear, erodes trust, and reshapes political legitimacy.

Ethical Reflections: A critical examination of the moral and legal dilemmas posed by targeted killings.

More than just a historical analysis, this book offers transformative scholarship that redefines how assassination is understood in contemporary geopolitics. It challenges readers to confront the paradoxes of modern statecraft and the fragile balance between security and morality. Whether you are a student of history, a policy-maker, an intelligence analyst, or simply a reader intrigued by the hidden mechanisms of power, The Killing Doctrine is an essential addition to your library.
