This encyclopaedia is the definitive work on every execution that took place in Britain in the 20th century, uncovering the criminals, the victims, the trials and, of course, the executions themselves. Each case is covered in amazing detail and brought to life by the vivid descriptions of all those involved, the circumstances, the motives and, sometimes, the remorse. This is the essential reference book for true crime fans, criminologists and those with a passion for historical fact.
