Best that I've read: I Claudius, by Robert Graves.

  I'm not quite sure it's really a book on assassination. This being said, it also has a great BCC adaptation with Derek Jacobi [1] ! [1]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEeXcJZEATU&list=PLEjWO5ZEvW0eZMUUOJ9lnfdhgrGxp-0Hx&index=1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEeXcJZEATU&list=PLEjWO5ZEvW...

    I've just watched that recently and it was bloody brilliant. One of the best mini series ever

  And the sequel, Claudius the God. Some of the page-turniest yet most glowingly literary fiction you're likely to read! This was Graves' idea of making a quick buck by dashing off a potboiler, btw: > Graves stated in an interview with Malcolm Muggeridge in 1965, that he wrote I, Claudius mainly because he needed the money to pay off a debt, having been let down in a land deal. He needed to raise £4000, but with the success of the books he brought in £8000 in six months, thus extricating himself from his precarious financial position.
