The United States stands alone as the only Western democracy that still practices capital punishment. Yet, the American death penalty has gone into noticeable decline, with annual death sentences and executions dwindling steadily in recent years. In Stay of Execution, Charles Lane offers a fresh analysis of this unexpected trend and its moral and political implications. Lane argues that capital punishment should be preserved, while proposing major reforms to address its real inequities and inconsistencies.

Described as "a first-rate analysis of an arcane and difficult subject."

Azar Gat provides a politically and strategically vital understanding of the peculiar strengths and vulnerabilities that liberal democracy brings to the formidable challenges ahead. Arguing that the democratic peace is merely one manifestation of much more sweeping and less recognized pacifist tendencies typical of liberal democracies, Gat offers a panoramic view of their distinctive way in conflict and war.
