Mankind likes to consider itself civilized. Sadly, this civilization is only skin-deep and man’s inhumanity to man, both in war and peace, has always been a cause for shame. But how should traitors, criminals and society’s enemies be dealt with? This book shows some of the means used to chastise and punish down through the ages.
