"We must show the executioner's hands each time and force veryone to look at them...Otherwise society admits it kills without knowing what it is saying or doing.
—Albert Camus' Meditations on the Guillotine
In fascinating detail Ivan Solotaroff introduces us to men who carry out executions and their experience doing it. Although the emphasis is on the personal lives of these men and those that they have put to death, the book also addresses some of the deeper issues of the death penalty and connects the veiled, elusive figure of the executioner to that vast majority of Americans who have claimed to support executions since 1977: Why do we do it? Or more exactly, Why do we want to?
The Last Face You'll Ever See is not about the polarizing issues of the death penalty—it is a first-hand report about the culture of executions: the executioners, the death row inmates, and everyone involved in the act. An engrossing, unsettling, and provocative book, this work will forever affect anyone who reads it.
