"A groundbreaking work. Its conclusions allow us to understand how
state-sponsored violence is a social illness, and how easily moral
boundaries can be destroyed. Our lesson is to grasp carefully how
the technique of transforming individuals into evildoers is a
highly rational exercise of constructed hatred, the isolation of
individuals, and the blurring of the border between duty and
cruelty."--Maria Pia Lara, editor of "Rethinking Evil: Contemporary
Perspectives"
"It's rare enough that people study torturers. It's very
dangerous fieldwork, demoralizing material to ponder over, and
intellectually hazardous to put it together coherently. These
authors do better than this: they come back with a book well worth
thinking about. Thinking about torture these days is something we
do less and less; one can only hope this book will be an antidote
to so much thoughtlessness."--Darius Rejali, author of "Torture and
Modernity: Self, Society and State in Modern Iran"
"The volume disturbingly reminds us that the problem of impunity
is not just one that concerns the direct torturers and murderers
but also all those who are complicit in the system of
impunity."--Sir Nigel Rodley, United Nations Commission on Human
Rights
