Synopsis:
From the gruesomely familiar to the grisly and bizarre, this unique encyclopedia provides the most comprehensive history ever published of the "art" of execution -- the ultimate penalty. Details the many ingenious and seemingly incomprehensible means used through history, including the more familiar guillotine, stoning, and crucifixion, such less-known acts as sewing a victim into the belly of a dead animal, and such "modern" methods as lethal injection and the electric chair. Black-and-white illustrations.
