Book excerpt: Albert Pierrepoint became an executioner in 1931, at the age of 27, and resigned his office as Official Executioner in 1956 ... This autobiography now offers a documentary record of his experience, which in retrospect he summed up as follows "I do not now believe that any of the hundreds of executions I carried out has in any way acted as a deterrent against future murder. Capital punishment, in my view, achieved nothing except revenge."--Jacket.
