Publisher's Synopsis
This fully updated and revised edition provides a thorough look at the many world leaders who met their end in a violent manner during the last century, from William Goebel, Kentucky's Democratic gubernatorial nominee in the election of 1899 who was shot on January 30, 1900, when he contested the election he narrowly lost - to General Ansumane Mane, the former army chief of staff ousting President Bernardo Vieira of Guniea-Bissau who was killed in a battle in Blom on November 30, 2000.
