This book is a gem. I've read it countless times and will read it countless more. It unflinchingly follows England's tortures and executions through the ages while citing specific historical incidents where these devices and methods were used. Chock full of quotes from witnesses, I devour it in one sitting. I can't wait to get ahold of Abbott's other work.
