Old Sparky covers the history of capital punishment in America and the "current wars" between Edison and Westinghouse, which led to the development of the electric chair. It examines how the electric chair became the most popular method of execution in America before being superseded by lethal injection. Famous executions are explored alongside quirky last meals and poignant last words.

Last execution in Ireland was 1954, not 1956 as stated in last chapter.
More on the Philippines in the latter half of book but I would have liked
to have seen more in depth research into electrocution in that country.
Overall the book binges the reader up to date on the death penalty in the US.
