Product Description

The hangman, gas chamber, firing squad, and electric chair are just a few of the ways in which societies have rid themselves of those who committed capital crimes. And throughout history, a select few have developed the devices that have carried out the mandate of the people. This is the dark story of those inventors and the macabre history of execution mechanics--from the first "stone" of antiquity to today's sterile injection chambers--with a peak at the future of death technology.

History -- Modern Marvels Death Devices Review

This isn't about plain, old killing: this is about societies killing those they want to punish. This is really about capital punishment, rather than simple murder. They go through all the topics that you'd expect: stoning, gas chambers, Old Sparky, fire squads, etc. You can learn things here. Only six countries still allow hanging. The guillotine was last used in the 1930s. They mention executioners, including those who used dull blades. Christians being fed to the lions for Roman crowds comes up. Still, they never speak of lynchings used for racist reasons; this oversight can be read as disturbing. I saw an MM installment about weapons like nuclear bombs and poisonous gases. That episode disturbed me much more than this. Although I identify as a liberal who opposes capital punishment, I was able to stomach this episode.
