Endorsements for Torture and Democracy
“Meticulously researched and
filled with surprising insights, Rejali’s indictment derives its power from
thoughtful analysis and deep historical grounding. It is the best book on the
subject that I have encountered. No one should debate the merits of torture
without having read it.” • Kenneth Roth, executive
director of Human Rights Watch.
