Recenzje

We have been in space, we can make the blind see, and we save our photos in clouds, but we don't stop torture. We know torture is illegal and immoral, and now the emergent science shows it to be ineffective. Interrogation and Torture takes you through a dim and scary landscape, but the guides — the contributors to the volume — navigate well. The darker it is, the clearer they see. I strongly recommend this book — it's out of the ordinary; it's about life and death.
