Readings of eye-witness execution reports selected from the finest journalism describing capital punishment, 1853 - 1993. Not one word censored. This is not a book for sensitive readers. There is nothing comparable to this collection in print. It is more commonplace in today's world to become a murder victim than an executed murderer. This Reader provides invaluable source material for debating capital punishment. Murder of Americans by Americans is an everyday fact of life. These tragedies cannot be reduced in number without confronting the mentality of those who commit murder. Today's major media do not factually report the nature of today's crimes and criminals, but this Reader simply presents, drawing upon history, the plain truth.
