                                            Bounty Books,  softcover, large format, illustrated, 192 pages, 22.5 cms x 29.9 cms, condition: basically as new.


Killing, maiming and ritual humiliation were once part of everyday life - and all these dread acts were carried out in the name of the law via politics of terror. Ingenious methods of perpetrating man's inhumanity have been created and the burden on victims has been immense. This book, exhaustively researched and graphically detailed, sheds light on a dark and hidden corner of history.

Who lived in fear of the inquisitors? What were the hangman's secrets? Where are the most notorious jails in the world? This work contains the answers to these and other questions about punishment and torture methods.
