TEXAS DEATH ROW. Executions in the Modern Era

Softcover. A chilling catalogue of the men and women who have paid the ultimate price for their crimes. The death penalty is one of the most hotly contested and longest-standing debates in American politics, and ground zero for this national debate is the execution chamber in Huntsville, Texas. Since the reinstatement of the death penalty in 1977, Texas has put more than 400 prisoners to death, far more than any other state. This book puts faces to those condemned men and women, with stark details on their crimes, sentencing, last meals, and last words. Definitive and objective, a book which will provide ample fuel for readers on both sides of the death-penalty debate. Illus. 422pp. trade size softcover. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. Apart from sl. slant to sp., Nr. F.
