The Faithful Executioner: Life and Death, Honor and Shame in the Turbulent Sixteenth Century by Joel F. HarringtonMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
I shouldn't be surprised that executions were a hot ticket back in the day. This was based on a journal by Franz Schmidt who worked as an executioner for roughly 45 years. He not only did executions, but also torture to get confessions. Torture happened all the time, executions happened periodically throughout the course of the year. Interesting, but sad & depressing.
