In 'Tyburn Tree: Its History and Annals', Alfred Marks delves into the fascinating and often gruesome history of the infamous Tyburn Gallows, the principal site for the execution of London's criminals and convicted traitors for many centuries. Through detailed research, Marks sheds light on the many aspects of this subject, including the torturous methods of execution, the role of the hangman, and the chronology of Tyburn. But this book is not just a recounting of the horrors of the past; it is a cautionary tale about the dangers of expanding government power and the need to fight for individual rights and liberties.
