Until You Are Dead

Library Journal

Readers won't find any statistics, legal decisions, or arguments pro and con here: just anecdotes about executions in America. While neither condemning nor condoning capital punishment, this heavily illustrated book proves that Murphy's Law applies to executions in a special way; the errors and irrationalities surrounding many of these executions provide evidence for opponents of the death penalty. A popular rather than a scholarly book, this is a useful addition to any extensive collection on the death penalty.-- John Broderick, Stonehill Coll., North Easton, Mass.
