A reader from New York City

After re-reading this book, I now see what a terrific work it is. Please excuse my last review.

Quite an Interesting Work

I am an attorney who has dealt with death penalty cases in the past. And while I fight this with all of my heart, I found Mr. Grossman's work to be an unbiased and informative manual to the history of capital punishment. As someone who takes such a staunch position on this delicate question in our society, I can say that it is most pleasing to see someone give a factual, historical, and unbiased view towards capital punishment. I was most impressed by the writing, the sources, the timeline and comprehensive bibliography, and highly recommend this work to anyone who wishes to purchase it or spend the time just reading it. It is a marvelous edition to the collection of writings on capital punishment in our society.
