History of War
Comprehensive and well researched, this book offers details of many aspects of the killer, his victims, his crimes, the investigation and the trial. Importantly, it also analyses where processes fell short and what happened after the judicial processes were complete. There are some really interesting pieces of information about the police inquiries and the various medical analyses of Sutcliffe’s state of mind which make you reflect on the outcomes of the trial and what might have been. The book does not explain what drove Sutcliffe to kill, but it does offer an unprecedented level of detail about the case. A must for people interested in this disturbing and dark piece of of history.

The building of accurate replicas over the past generation has changed all that, and what has been learnt about the ships and boats of our ancestors has… Read more...
