Examining the act of interrogation, the author confronts a host of philosophical and legal issues, from the right to privacy and the privilege against compelled self-incrimination to prisoner rights and the legal consequences of different modes of interrogation for both domestic criminal and foreign terror suspects.

Trade Review
"This book offers an interdisciplinary study of the role of interrogation and its use by the state. Michael Skerker's approach allows the reader to view the conduct of domestic and foreign affairs through the prism of moral and political philosophy, jurisprudence, and just war theory. The result is an excellent approach to this multifaceted issue that provides insight without polemic." (Jan Goldman, founding editor, International Journal of Intelligence Ethics)"
