Torture

Torture has existed for as long as there have been governments. When torture was used by Stalin and Hitler, there was no debate the United States condemned these practices. After September 11, 2001, the U.S. government faced its own controversy related to its treatment of terrorists. The nation was shocked when it saw photos of the "enhanced interrogation techniques" used on prisoners at Abu Ghraib. The debate it sparked has yet to abate: is torture ever justifiable, or is it always a crime against humanity? Readers of award-winning author Lila Perl's Torture will find all the information they need to join the debate. Book jacket.
