Description
Summary:	Until recently, torture was chiefly associated with foreign governments or other notorious human rights abusers. In light of the war on terror this has changed dramatically. Reviewing the history and practice of torture, Perry shows why torture is different from other acts of war, and why it is fundamentally immoral.
