The Hangman's Job - John C. Woods
In World War II, John C. Woods was a hangman and he executed a little over 30 US soldiers for a variety of crimes. A retired army colonel describes Woods as a psychopath who lied his way into the hangman's job in order to avoid combat. "I'm going to guess very few people I would describe as like pleasant human beings have done the job of hangman," Frank McLean says.
