Using examples from Caesar to Rabin, Hudson asks to what extent the course of history can be determined by individuals and whether individual leaders are merely the result, and not the cause of political evolution. He argues that assassination cannot reverse a historical tide, but can hasten an evolution, or push events in a desired direction.
