After being tried and convicted he immediately insisted on being executed for his crime. To do so he fought a system that seemed intent on keeping him alive long after it had sentenced him to death. And that fight for the right to die is what made him famous.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMailer tells not only Gilmore's story but those of the men and women caught in the web of his life and drawn into his procession toward the firing squad. All with implacable authority steely compassion and a restraint that evokes the parched landscape and stern theology of Gilmore's Utah. \u003ci\u003eThe Executioner's Song\u003c\/i\u003e is a trip down the wrong side of the tracks to the deepest source of American loneliness and violence. It is a towering achievement-impossible to put down impossible to forget.\u0026gt;","brand":"Oxfordbookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44786705957043,"sku":"9780446584388","price":1400.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/4164\/4723\/files\/blk_imp_17477297129780446584388.jpg?v=1762806763","url":"https:\/\/oxfordbookstore.com\/products\/the-executioners-song","provider":"Oxfordbookstore ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
