Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Reprint. pp: 412. Bound in pictorial dust jacket over red cloth boards trimmed in black, all in trimmed red. The book is noteworthy for a number of reasons. It was the basis of a movie by the same name starring Spencer Tracy and Bette Davis. It was the only film in which these two appeared together. The author was the warden of Sing Sing for more than twenty years. He began the book with a description of the operation of the electric chair. It was intended as an argument against capital punishment, not a common opinion at the time of publication, particularly in the United States. And, the author had some influence on the script, at least during the early days. The book is very good, or a bit better. The jacket is complete but has a number of chips and tears along the edges, and at the spine ends. Laid in is a newspaper clipping of the obituary of Lewis. This has left a light brownish stain on part of the title page. The jacket is now protected with a Brodart cover.
