Until I Could Be Sure: How I Stopped the Death Penalty in Illinois

By George H. Ryan Sr.

Book Overview

Until I Could Be Sure chronicles how Governor George Ryan set aside his prior beliefs - and pressure from the public and politicians - to take on a culture and a system of punishment that Americans long have grappled with, even as much of the rest of the civilized world has consigned it to the dustbin of history.
