Political Assassinations in America: The Intricate Nexus of Deep State Crime by Jeremy Kuzmarov

As Black revolutionary H. Rap Brown famously declared during the 1967 racial riots in Detroit, "Violence is as American as cherry pie." While violence is evident in gun violence and mass shootings in American cities, the extent of its eruption into domestic politics remains largely unacknowledged. Ten American presidents have been the targets or apparent targets of assassins, as have five presidential candidates. Many other politicians have also been victims of political violence. So have the many others, and even Beatles singer, John Lennon. Then there's Epstein and Charlie Kirk. Successful, professional, credentialed historians continue to attribute known politically-related assassinations in this country to deranged loners-or "lonely oddballs with a firearm fixation." Nothing else to see here, folks. Cases closed. Political Assassinations in America aims to debunk this ahistorical record.
