Popular history writer Ashdown recounts a thousand years of European monarchs being bumped off by sword, arrow, bomb, bullet, and maybe witchcraft. She also describes the harrowing punishments inflicted on the attackers if they were caught and had not acquired enough power by the act to protect themselves. She includes less known examples from Scandinavia, Spain, and some of the eastern European dynasties. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
