About this product
Product Information
As recently as the 1960s, convicted murderers in Britain were hanged by the neck until dead. Now, for the first time, readers can learn the full story of Britain's last hangman, Harry Allen. This, the first published biography of Allen, is riveting. As well as focusing on Allen's life, the book also examines the stories and people behind the hangings - the murderers, victims and policemen.Product Identifiers

More crime than punishment.
This book fails as an autobiography of the title's character, it is more crime than punishment - a protracted catalogue of violent murders that brought the culprits to Harry's gallows. Whilst there are some details of his private life it is but a scant introduction to the character whose own thoughts and believes are largely conjecture with very few actual quotes from the man himself. With this in mind, it might be something students of criminology would want to read but not many lay people - other than those with a particular passion for murder.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
