Although a wave of democratization appears to be sweeping the
globe, torture persists in more than seventy-five nations. Despite
widespread condemnation of torture and the efforts of international
and nongovernmental organizations to end it, the "politics of pain"
continues in a broad range of social and political systems. This
book is one of the first to systematically examine the
psychological, cultural, and social origins of torture. It provides
profiles of torturers and of those who direct them in their brutal
activities. The contributors provide case studies from the past and
present, including Somoza's National Guard in Nicaragua and regimes
in the Southern Cone of Latin America and in Greece.
