We Who Are About To Die: Prison As Seen By A Condemned Man (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781432518097)

We Who Are About To Die: Prison As Seen By A Condemned Man is a non-fiction book written by David Lamson, who was sentenced to death for the murder of his wife in 1933. The book is a firsthand account of Lamson's experiences in prison from the time of his arrest until his execution in 1936. Lamson describes the harsh conditions of prison life, including the lack of privacy, the constant threat of violence, and the psychological toll of living with the knowledge that he will soon be put to death. He also provides insights into the workings of the legal system and the attitudes of prison officials and fellow inmates towards those who are condemned to die. The book is both a personal memoir and a commentary on the flaws and injustices of the American justice system in the early 20th century. It offers a rare glimpse into the mind of a condemned man and the emotional and mental struggles he faced during his time in prison. Overall, We Who Are About To Die is a thought-provoking and poignant account of one man's experience of the criminal justice system and the ultimate price he paid for his crime.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
