Taking readers on a world-wide journey, bestselling historian Natasha Tidd examines how fifty murders shaped the course of history. From early serial killers to the birth of criminology, she shows how such tragic loss of life can have history-changing consequences. From ancient Rome to the mid-twentieth century, historian Natasha Tidd takes readers on a global exploration behind the history of the most heinous of crimes – murder. Includes iconic cases such:
Liu Pengli, the Han Dynasty Prince who became one of the world’s first-known serial killers
The twisted history of Romanian Ruler, Vlad Draculea, better known as Vlad the Impaler
The mysterious murders tied to Mary Queen of Scots
Throughout this book, Tidd charts the evolution in how we view murder, through the rise in criminology from the 1700s and early understanding of criminal psychology and even mental health. Alongside delving into our centuries’ long true crime fascination, this thoroughly explores the impact of front-page stories such as Lizzie Borden and Jack the Ripper on how we view crime today.
