This fastpaced book by Yale professors Michael Graetz and Ian Shapiro unravels the following mystery How is it that the estate tax which has been on the books continuously since 1916 and is paid by only the wealthiest two percent of Americans was repealed in 2001 with broad bipartisan support The mystery is all the more striking because the repeal was not done in the dead of night like a congressional pay raise It came at the end of a multiyear populist campaign launched by a few individuals and was heralded by its supporters as a signal achievement for Americans who are committed to the work ethic and the American Dream Graetz and Shapiro conducted wideranging interviews with the relevant players members of congress senators staffers from the key committees and the Bush White House civil servants think tank and interest group representatives and many others The result is a unique portrait of American politics as viewed through the lens of the death tax repeal saga Graetz and Shapiro brilliantly illuminate the repeal campaigns many fascinating and unexpected turnsparticularly the odd end result whereby the repeal is slated to selfdestruct a decade after its passage They show that the stakes in this fight are exceedingly high the very survival of the long standing American consensus on progressive taxation is being threatened Graetz and Shapiros rich narrative reads more like a political drama than a conventional work of scholarship Yet every page is suffused by their intimate knowledge of the history of the tax code the transformation of American conservatism over the past three decades and the wider political implications of battles over tax policy

In his own darkly humorous style Geoffrey Abbott describes the instruments used and their effectiveness and reveals the macabre origins of familiar phrases such as gone west or drawn a blank as well as the jargon of the underworld He covers everything from the preparation of the victim to the disposal of the body Execution is everything you ever wanted to know about the ultimate penaltyand a lot you never thought to asknbsp It includes such hairraising categories as nbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbsp Cave of Roses A rare Swedish method of execution in which the victim was confined to a cave full of snakes and poisonous reptilesnbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbsp Bastinado Involved the victim being caned gently and rhythmically with a lightweight stick on the soles of the feet until the mental collapse and eventual death of the victimnbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbsp Sewn in an Animals Belly A living person is sewn into the belly of an animal and left to dienbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbsp The Spanish Donkey This method of torture consisted of seating a victim on top of a wall that resembled an inverted v with weights attached to the ankles the weights slowly increased until the victims body split in twonbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbsp Iron Chair The victim is tied to an iron armchair and pushed nearer and nearer to a blazing firenbsp nbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbsp Sawn in Half Victims are secured in a standing position pinned between two wide boards fixed between a stake driven deep into the ground while two executioners one on each side would wield a long twohandled saw downwards through the boardsnbsp nbspExecution is a unique fascinating look at the grim and gritty history of sanctioned deathnbsp nbsp

ExcerptI had been in the water about an hour and cold exhausted with a terrible cramp in my right calf it seemed as though my hour had come Fruitlessly struggling against the strong ebb tide I had beheld the maddening procession of the waterfront lights slip by but now a gave up attempting to breast the stream and contended myself with the bitter thoughts of a wasted career now drawing to a closeIt had been my luck to come of good English stock but of parents whose account with the bankers far exceeded their knowledge of childnature and the rearing of children While born with a silver spoon in my mouth the blessed atmosphere of the home circle was to me unknown My father a very learned man and a celebrated antiquarian gave no thought to his family being constantly lost in the abstractions of his study while my mother noted far more for her good looks than her good sense sated herself with the adulation of the society in which she was perpetually plunged I went through the regular school and college routine of a boy of the English bourgeoisie and as the years brought me increasing strength and passions my parents suddenly became aware that I was possessed of an immortal soul and endeavoured to draw the curb But it was too late I perpetrated the wildest and most audacious folly and was disowned by my people ostracised by the society I had so long outraged and with the thousand pounds my father gave me with the declaration that he would neither see me again nor give me more I took a firstclass passage to AustraliaMore ReadingOther Books by Jack London by ADB PublishingThe Original The Scarlet Plague 1912 The Original A Thousand Deaths This Book
