Public Executions
From Ancient Rome to the Present Day
Nigel Cawthorne
Hardbound with original dust jacket
208 pages

Date Published: 28 Sep 2006
This is a dramatic popular history of the evolution of mankind,
its politics and its retribution. This is an unflinching look at one of
society's modern taboos: the State-sanctioned killing of its own citizens.
Although there are still a number of countries that occasionally execute
their own citizens in public, the modern world views execution with distaste.
And public executions doubly so.
Nigel Cawthorne examines the methods of
sanctioned killing and shows that although we now regard public
practices with horror, there are cultures that would regard execution
behind closed doors as murder.
The book has been gently read, and the pages are clean and bright with
gentle light wear to it's cover.
