How did the United States, a nation known for protecting the "right
to remain silent" become notorious for condoning and using
controversial tactics like water boarding and extraordinary
rendition to extract information? What forces determine the laws
that define acceptable interrogation techniques and how do they
shift so quickly from one extreme to another?
In Confessions of Guilt, esteemed scholars George C. Thomas III and
Richard A. Leo tell the story of how, over the centuries, the law
of interrogation has moved from indifference about extreme force to
concern over the slightest pressure, and back again. The history of
interrogation in the Anglo-American world, they reveal, has been a
swinging pendulum rather than a gradual continuum of violence.
Exploring a realist explanation of this pattern, Thomas and Leo
demonstrate that the law of interrogation and the process of its
enforcement are both inherently unstable and highly dependent on
the perceived levels of threat felt by a society. Laws react to
fear, they argue, and none more so than those that govern the
treatment of suspected criminals.
From England of the late eighteenth century to America at the dawn
of the twenty-first, Confessions of Guilt traces the disturbing yet
fascinating history of interrogation practices, new and old, and
the laws that govern them. Thomas and Leo expertly explain the
social dynamics that underpin the continual transformation of
interrogation law and practice and look critically forward to what
their future might hold.
