Opis

Is interrogational torture effective? What do we mean by "effective"? How brutal can torture get and be considered justifiable? In this book, John W. Schiemann adopts game theory in an attempt to answer these questions, walking the reader through the logic of interrogational torture-and finding that it is far more brutal than proponents believe.

Recenzje

Schiemann separates opinion and political position from objective analysis. He presents facts. His case is categorical, magisterial, exhaustive, original, and terribly, tragically sad. He demolishes the liars, partisan, supporters and defenders of torture." -Glenn Carle, author of The Interrogator: An Education
