“The Bullet That Missed History: True Tales of Assassins Who Almost Changed the World”

di Alfred Ingersol (Autore)

Paul Owens, 2025

History remembers the assassins who succeeded — but what about those who almost did? The Bullet That Missed History takes readers deep into the forgotten corners of our world's past, uncovering shocking, true, and little-known assassination attempts that could have rewritten history. From tribal leaders in remote jungles of Asia to presidents, sultans, and generals across Africa and Europe, these are the plots that failed — sometimes by inches, sometimes by sheer absurdity. Each chapter unfolds like a cinematic thriller: vivid landscapes, tense political rivalries, and the ordinary people caught in extraordinary moments. Discover the African ruler saved by a misfired musket, the Mongolian chieftain who outwitted a rival's poison, and the European anarchist whose misplaced bomb reshaped a nation's fate. These are not myths or legends, but rigorously researched, real events — stories that remind us how fragile the line between history and alternate history truly is. For fans of Killers of the Flower Moon, Destiny Disrupted, and The Devil in the White City, this book is a gripping journey into the shadows of power, where ambition, fate, and folly collide — and history holds its breath.
