"""[T]his set is a valuable addition to any reference collection. . . . Newton's synthesis of so much information into an easily accessible format makes this title a strong resource for a wide range of readers. Recommended."" - Choice ""A unique and most helpful aspect of the set is its inclusion of 23 primary documents, including Brutus’ letter to Cicero on Caesar’s assassination, Prince Peter Kropotkin’s account of the murder of Czar Alexander II of Russia, and Edward M. Kennedy’s eulogy for Robert Kennedy. Assassination is an interesting historical topic, making this a worthy secondary purchase for most high school and public library collections."" - Booklist ""These two volumes provide a ready resource for those looking for a better understanding of the long-standing role of assassinations in the course of human events and how these murders have changed the course of history."" - ARBA"
