The Executioner`s Bible

The art of dispensing instant death at the end of a hangman`s rope was an exact science, and the men who undertook these duties received special training at an executioner`s training school. This work tells the story of the working-class men who carried out this gruesome profession until its abolition in the late 1960s. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only.
