Book: Autobiography of an Execution

I heard a riveting interview with the author of “Autobiography of an execution,” by David R. Dow, and was moved to put the book on hold at my local public library.

In case you want to hear or read about the book, here are some links:

1) NPR, Fresh Air, Terry Gross interview, February 8, 2010

2) Excerpts from the publisher, Hachette Book Group

3) The Autobiography of an Execution: A death penalty attorney writes with candor about the painful burdens of his job, by Steve Weinberg, Christian Science Monitor, February 8, 2010

Read more about the death penalty: links here and here, and a link to two books about executions in Oregon.
