The Theory of Assassination by Edward S. Herman

The Theory of Assassination by Edward S. Herman posits that political assassinations are often not isolated acts but systematic tools used by powerful interests—such as governments or elites—to eliminate opposition, intimidate others, and maintain control. Herman suggests these killings are planned and executed with strategic intent, often cloaked in secrecy, serving broader agendas rather than random acts of violence. This theory emphasizes that understanding the motives behind assassinations can reveal underlying power dynamics and political control within society.
