Truth, Torture, and the American Way: The History and Consequences of U.S. Involvement in Torture

Description

"Jennifer Harbury's investigation into torture began when her husband disappeared in Guatemala in 1992; she told the story of his torture and murder in Searching for Everardo. For over a decade since, Harbury has used her formidable legal, research, and organizing skills to press for the U.S. government's disclosure of America's involvement in harrowing abuses in Latin America, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East. Her mission has a renewed urgency in the wake of the disclosures from Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay."--Jacket.
