L'abolition
Author name: Robert Badinter    
Publication year: 2000    
Original language: French    

A long struggle for the abolition of the death penalty. The book begins with the execution of two culprits in 1972 and ends in 1981, when the death penalty was abolished in France. This abolition has spread all over Europe now and this book might make readers think about what it means for an industrialized and civilized country to kill through justice.
