For security, military, and law enforcement professionals, McGovern, a district attorney investigator, US Marshal, police officer, law enforcement specialist, and former SWAT team member, compiles statistics on assassinations, contract killings, and kidnappings that have occurred around the world since 1950. Information is organized by region, with data on methods and locations of attack, victims, and adversaries, followed by different methods, including drive-bys, explosive devices, poison, snipers, and suicide bombers and their success rate, most likely locations, global and regional data, those most likely to use them and against whom, and types and delivery methods. Subsequent chapters address attack locations, methods of operation by specific organizations like Colombian drug cartels, types of victims, and case studies of attacks on motorcades and pedestrians since 1973, including Margaret Thatcher and other government officials. Attacks by mentally disturbed individuals are mostly excluded. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
