"the hanging of Ronald Ryan unanswered questions, 50 years on" -- Cover.
Last Words is the story of Ronald Ryan, the last man hanged in Australia. Fifty years after his death, questions remain unanswered. This is as much about the hanged man as much as it is about the trauma of his family, and the political opportunism behind the decision to proceed with the hanging.
