Summary

Royal Executions delves into the dramatic and often grim history of monarchs who met their end not through natural causes or battlefield defeat, but by execution. This exploration of power, politics, and the precarious nature of leadership examines instances where kings and queens faced the ultimate punishment. Understanding these pivotal moments offers insights into the dynamics of monarchy, political executions, and the often brutal realities of political power. The book reveals how such executions were rarely simple acts of justice, but complex political maneuvers that reshaped power structures and national identities.

 
The book investigates specific case studies, such as Charles I of England and Louis XVI of France, alongside lesser-known examples from both European and Asian history. It analyzes the political climate, legal proceedings, and immediate aftermath of each execution. By drawing from primary sources like trial transcripts and contemporary accounts, Royal Executions presents a fresh perspective, viewing royal executions as integral components of broader political and social transformations, examining the long-term implications and influence on political thought and social structures.

    It Should Be Easy to Fix

    In 1977, Bonnie Robichaud accepted a job at the Department of Defence military base in North Bay, Ontario. After a string of dead-end jobs, with five young children at home, Robichaud was ecstatic to have found a unionized job with steady pay, benefits, and vacation time.
    		 
    After her supervisor began to sexually harass and intimidate her, her story could have followed the same course as countless women before her: endure, stay silent, and eventually quit. Instead, Robichaud filed a complaint after her probation period was up. When a high-ranking officer said she was the only one who had ever complained, Robichaud said, “Good. Then it should be easy to fix.”
    		 
    This timely and revelatory memoir follows her gruelling eleven-year fight for justice, which was won in the Supreme Court of Canada. The unanimous decision set a historic legal precedent that employers are responsible for maintaining a respectful and harassment-free workplace. Robichaud’s story is a landmark piece of Canadian labour history—one that is more relevant today than ever.
