Assassinations are nothing new. They often greatly alter the course of history – from the murder of ArchDuke Ferdinand, to JFK, and now, yes, to the killing of Brian Thompson allegedly by Luigi Mangione.
From books to movies to musicals, politically motivated assassinations have captured the public’s imagination for centuries. But why? We’ll be exploring that question and more on today’s episode of Book Wise.
Join your host Britt Brewer, A.K.A. Dr. Books, to take a deeper look into the Mind of Assassins: What Might Luigi Mangione Have Been Thinking? - using the books Surprise, Kill, Vanish by leading expert and award-winner, Annie Jacobson, and Perfect Kill: 21 Laws for Assassins by former CIA Operative, Robert B. Baer, to try and help us navigate through the strategies and thought processes surrounding targeted, politically motivated assassinations.
Now, it must be noted that Book Wise in NO WAY condones murder, breaking the rule of law, or committing any crime for that matter.
This is a podcast about books after all! And books help humans process the murky gray morass of life to reach, hopefully, greater enlightenment.
So let’s all process (together) an event that has captured the attention of an entire nation, and do it through the lens of books!
Books mentioned:
• “Surprise, Kill, Vanish” by Annie Jacobson
• “Perfect Kill: 21 Laws for Assassins” by Robert B. Baer
📚 BookClub makes the wisdom in books accessible, approachable, and applicable for better leadership development.
