Executioners, The

Executioners, The : short review

Executioners, The

They were cobblers, salesmen, barbers and landlords. Working men. But they were anything but ordinary. They were the state's part time killers the hangmen. From 1868 to 1964, their work was shrouded in mystery, conducted, as the state euphemistically put it, in 'private'. Beyond prison walls these common working men refined the process of judicial executions from an agonising, brutal death to one of the most certain anywhere in the world. What did they do? Why did they do it? What did it do to them? This is the story of The Private Executioners...a unique history of British capital punishment, seen through the eyes of those who dispensed it.
