It details the life and professional experiences of James Berry, who served as an executioner in England, sharing insights into the capital punishment process and the complexities of his role. The narrative aims to illuminate the realities of execution, and it seeks to address misconceptions about the executioner's duties and the nature of capital punishment. The opening of the book sets the stage for Berry's reflections on his unique profession, countering common negative perceptions associated with executioners. It presents Berry as a compassionate and thoughtful individual, with a focus on the humane aspects of his work. He discusses his personal struggles and the moral dilemmas he faces, establishing a narrative that is more introspective and analytical than sensational. Through this initial context, the text lays the groundwork for further exploration of Berry's thoughts on capital punishment, his methods, and personal anecdotes from his experiences executing condemned prisoners.
