Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Long description:
A fact-based book that highlights political assassins in history. The book includes the stories of the assassins rather than just their famous victims. The book dissects selected political assassinations and and why the assassins acted; details their political goals, addresses why they chose the methods they chose, and describes the ultimate outcome of the assassination. In many cases, the assassinations were not effective and actually worked against the stated goals of the assassins. People of questionable sanity and cases where the act was strictly personal are not included. For the more modern subjects, there is supporting documentation with detailed accounts written at the time in question. However, with some of the historic cases, specifics on methodology, coconspirators, etc. are not well known or there are conflicting accounts. In such cases, reasoned dramatizations are used to ensure the stories are entertaining to the reader as well as educational.The book is organized chronologically with examples from Ancient Persia and Rome and ending with several of the 19th and 20th Centuries’ high profile assassinations. The assassins and the victims are representative of men and women, and eastern and western civilizations.
"An utterly fascinating view and exceptionally well thought-out book on the mindset of infamous assassins of prominent historical figures. Such a fun read!" --Dan Morrison,&&&160;former FBI Supervisory Special Agent
"By writing History&&&39;s Assassins&&&160;in a narrative style, the reader is instantly immersed into the plot as if you were an eyewitness to the actual event. The authors use great skill in weaving a very likely story around the actual historical event that draws the reader into the assassin&&&39;s plot. This book provides the reader a different approach to the events by &&&39;humanizing&&&39;&&&160;the characters with a likely&&&160;dialogue as the assassination unfolds. I highly recommend this book for readers looking for the broad brush strokes to some of the most important and influential&&&160;assassinations in world history."&&&160;—Paul A. Belanger,&&&160;Command Sergeant Major, (Ret), MA Military History
