Book Synopsis
Legal prohibitions against torture cannot prevent state violence

Trade Review
"A beautifully crafted, convincingly argued book that does not shy away from addressing the legal and ethical complexities of torture in the modern world. In a field that all too often produces simple or superficial responses to what has become an increasingly challenging issue, Understanding Torture stands out as a sophisticated and intellectually responsible work." - Ruth Miller, University of Massachusetts, Boston"
