Amazing True Stories of Execution Blunders by Geoffrey Abbott
The business of death can be seriously absurd, and nothing illustrates this better than these gruesome true tales. This gory compendium details the frankly ridiculous ways in which a number of ill-fated unfortunates met (or failed to meet) their maker at the hands of lamentably inept executioners. With black and white illustrations, this book brings together a mixture of bungled executions, strange last requests and classic one-liners from medieval times to the present day.
Geoffrey Abbott served for many years as a Yeoman Warder (Beefeater) at the Tower of London. Author of 16 books and contributor to the Encyclopaedia Britannica, he has made numerous television appearances.
