Summary

Everybody remembers where they were the day John F. Kennedy died. The president's assassination shocked the world and raised questions that have still not been answered today. Almost as shocking is attempted assassination - the bullet that missed; the bomb that did not go off; the poison that did not work. 'Dodging the Bullet' looks at the most spectacular of these, from attempts on royals like George II and Queen Victoria, where dysfunctional men with unreliable guns lurked in the shrubbery of parks to the astonishing 634 attempts to kill and/or discredit Fidel Castro.
