Book Synopsis The A-Z of Punishment and Torture by : Irene Thompson
Book excerpt: "Who are the Maccabees? A modern youth pop phenomenon, or a mother and her seven sons who suffered racking, skinning, burning, amputation and having a tongue pulled out and fried? The A to Z of Punishment and Torture is fascinating social history providing a wealth of weird folklore, such as the power of the hanged man's hand; astounding tales, like Mary Hamilton, the cross-dressing 14-times bigamist; and more recent outrages, such as the use of squassation at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq."--Publisher description.
