The author delves into the historical context, exploring the brutal and inhumane methods of execution prevalent before the guillotine's introduction. By examining primary sources, including debates and documents from the National Assembly, the book sheds light on the motivations and ideas of those who championed this new device, including Dr. Joseph-Ignace Guillotin, whose name became synonymous with the machine. The author also discusses the guillotine's profound impact on French society, examining its symbolic power, the controversies surrounding its use, and its lasting legacy as an instrument of terror and justice.
