The Complete History of Jack the Ripper
Book • 2009
Philip Sugden's The Complete History of Jack the Ripper is the result of nine years of exhaustive research, offering a detailed reconstruction of the Whitechapel murders within the social and historical context of London in 1888.
The book critically examines all available primary sources, including police records, eyewitness testimony, and contemporary press reports, while debunking myths and sensationalized accounts.
