Not a big fan of this book. It felt like a chore to read and was certain I would DNF, so making it through was a surprise. I feel like the chapters sit at the uncomfortable length, where they don't give enough detail and they drag on for a bit too long despite being only six pages each.

> I received an ebook of this from NetGalley, in return for an honest review.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the early copy of the book. First and foremost, I am a fanatic of true crime, assassinations, etc. I've been reading about the JFK assassination for years and have come to my own conclusions. So when a book such as this comes out, of course, I am going to jump all over it. The title says it all in nutshell. Many times one hears that assassinations don't accomplish what the killer(s) set out to do, that is, if they even have an agenda or reason for killing. The murders put forth in this book truly did change the world and the author provides details on just how those changes came about because these people were killed. What i loved about the book is that it shed light on murders I wasn't that familiar with, coupled with the effects of those murders. A truly insightful and fascinating read.
