George W. Bush's war on terror defended torture as a matter of
official policy and furthered an already emergent culture of
cruelty. As torture became normalized in the Bush era, it not only
corrupted American ideals and political culture, it also passed
over to the dark side in sanctioning the unimaginable and
unspeakable: the torture of children. This shocking book documents
cases of child torture by American military personnel, many of
which have never been reported in the media. Giroux raises serious
challenges the Obama administration must address in light of this
shameful period in American history if it wants to restore
democratic culture. Going further than simply blaming those at the
top, Hearts of Darkness also raises questions about the collusion
of the media, educators, the criminal justice system and other
institutions that have enabled a culture that accepts the torture
of children.
