It may bill itself as a history of Israeli assassinations, but this incredibly well-researched history functions surprisingly well as a fact-focused and unbiased cross-sectional history of Israel from before its founding to much more recently, and I have finished it with a much deeper understanding of the regional geopolitics.
This historical treatise has a lot of notoriety but I found it unnecessarily dense, and ultimately flawed, in that its focus on states and state power ignores a related discussion of capitalist power, such that altho there is a useful perspective to glean here about how a drive for social legibility can transform a society, I wouldn't recommend the book overall.
