Pastwatch by Orson Scott Card involves altering a historical figure's fate through time travel.
The basic premise is that in the future, scientists can monitor any person at any point in the past. A small group dedicated to studying slavery starts to follow Christopher Columbus and determine what drove him West. They discover he was visited by what he believes to be an angel, but they recognize as a person from the future, who instructs him on what to do to discover the Americas. Realizing the past can be altered (and already has), three people are sent back in time to prepare the Native Americans for the first contact, so they can understand not just Columbus' language, but culture and religion. The plan is to turn him from conqueror to partner and prevent the genocide of the Native Americans.
I picked it up randomly from a thrift store years ago, and really enjoyed it. You can tell Card put a good amount of effort into historical research, which adds a lot of flavor to the story. I know Card's a nutter, but he manages to keep it in check, despite the religious nature of the story.
I recently read the book Hit List: An In-Depth Investigation into the Mysterious Deaths of Witnesses to the JFK Assassination
by David Wayne and Richard Belzer and it has me pretty convinced he was a patsy.
