Summary
The book explores the life of Charles-Henri Sanson, the fourth-generation head of the Sanson family, which served as executioners in Paris. Sanson was a devout Catholic and loyal to the monarchy, but he became famous for carrying out the executions of King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette during the French Revolution.
The book explores Sanson's inner struggles with his role, his efforts to make executions more humane, and his questions about the morality of the death penalty. It also delves into the broader historical context of the French Revolution, providing insight into the realities of executions at the time and the invention of the guillotine.[2]
