How to Justify Torture by Alex Adams
From Batman Begins to Tom Clancy, How to Justify Torture shows how contemporary culture creates simplified narratives about good guy torturers and bad guy victims, how dangerous this is politically, and what we can do to challenge it.
"As passionate as it is rigorous.. Anyone sickened by the global re-emergence of torture as a “tool of justice” will find resources for resistance here."
