Torture is indisputably abhorrent. Why, you might ask, would you even want to think or read about torture? That is a very good question, and one this book addresses in a compelling and enlightening way. Torture is a very important issue, not least because millions of people around the world have been subjected to this odious practice―and many are enduring torture right now as you read these words.

    4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent brief history and current analysis
    Reviewed in Canada on July 8, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    Hajjar's new book briefly treats the juridical history of torture, making only a few errors on the historical record, and her analysis of contemporary torture is first-rate. The reading list is up to date, and her analysis is sharp, An ideal book for both a classroom and for informed private reading.
