For me for example its “Eat me - a natural and unnatural history of cannibalism” by Bill Schutt. Its an amazing book that covers cannibalism in animals and then the history of it in humans (cultural, survival & medicinal cannibalism).
I got a lot of “oh why would someone read something like that?” And “that not something fun to read about!” From relatives but my friends enjoyed the stuff that I could tell them about cannibalism!
Man, I forget the full title and author. It’s called Lord High Executioner… About headsman and executioners throughout history.
Did it by chance cover the Sansons? They were executioners during the french revolution
Yes, there was a large portion on the guillotine and the French Revolution.
