Revelations about U.S. torture and prisoner abuse in blatant
violation of the long-established and universally recognized Geneva
Conventions have horrified most Americans. Nevertheless, it has
been argued that the high stakes of the "War on Terror" have made
the protections offered by the Conventions obsolete, or that the
abuses are the work of a few rogue soldiers and officers. This book
reaches past the headlines into the historical record to document
POW torture and also domestic prisoner abuse dating well back in
our history as well as government and military knowledge of and
collusion in such ostensibly illegal and reprehensible acts. Is
torture and prisoner abuse justified in the name of some greater
good? As a society we shall have to decide. The historical record
presented here can contribute much to an informed national
discussion. Series features: BLTimeline anchoring the discussion in
time and place BLBibliography of print and Internet resources
guiding further exploration of the subject BLCharts and tables
analyzing complex data, including survey results
