David R. Dow has had access to a world most of us will never experience. As a lawyer, he has represented over one hundred death-row cases. Many of his clients have died. Most were guilty. Some might have been innocent. The Autobiography of an Execution is his deeply personal story about justice, the death penalty, and a lawyer's life.


我們絕大多數的人很難想像陶大衛（David R. Dow）的世界。身為一名辯護律師，他在法庭上代表過一百多位死刑犯。許多他辯護過的囚犯都已經死亡，而且他們大部分是罪有應得，但當中有部分的人卻可能是冤枉慘死。《死刑台前的告別》是陶大衛最深刻的告白，講述個人周旋在正義與死刑之間的律師生活。
