避过子弹:历史上失败的暗杀行动

English | 2024 | ISBN: 9781399037624 | 234 pages | True PDF EPUB | 11.28 MB

Everybody remembers where they were the day John F. Kennedy died. The president’s assassination shocked the world and raised questions that have still not been answered today.

Almost as shocking is attempted assassination – the bullet that missed; the bomb that did not go off; the poison that did not work. Dodging the Bullet looks at the most spectacular of these, from attempts on royals like George II and Queen Victoria, where dysfunctional men with unreliable guns lurked in the shrubbery of parks to the astonishing 634 attempts to kill and/or discredit Fidel Castro.

Anybody in the public eye is a potential victim for an assassin. Anybody with access to the most easily obtained weapons is a potential killer. The fascination lies in the mix of these two – the random meeting of the famous and the deranged.

Dodging the Bullet has professional hitmen working for sinister organizations and governments. It has security services who are nothing of the sort. It has arrogant and complacent rulers of states who believe in their own immortality – ‘Honey, I forgot to duck,’ as President Ronald Reagan said.

Why the bullet missed is one of the imponderables. Another is; what difference would it have made if it had not?


everybody remembers where they were the day John F. Kennedy died. 总统的 assassination 震惊了全世界,至今仍有很多问题没有答案。 几乎同样令人震惊的是未遂暗杀 – 没有射中的子弹;未能爆炸的炸弹;无效的毒药。《躲避子弹》一书关注这些最引人注目的未遂事件,从乔治二世和维多利亚女王等王室成员身上发生的案例(那些功能失调且不可靠的枪手隐藏在公园里的灌木丛中),到试图刺杀并/或诋毁菲德尔·卡斯特罗的634次尝试。 公众眼中的任何人都是潜在的目标杀手。有权获得最易获取武器的人也是潜在的杀手。这种混合的魅力在于这两者之间的随机相遇——名流与精神错乱者的相遇。 《躲避子弹》不仅有受雇于邪恶组织和政府的专业杀手,也有毫不在意的安全服务。还有自认为永生不灭的国家统治者,正如罗纳德·里根所说:“亲爱的,我忘了躲。” 为什么射中的子弹没有命中是未解之谜之一。另一个则是:如果它真的击中了又会怎样呢?
