This is brilliant. Disturbing, but brilliant. Kristian Williams (author of Our Enemies In Blue) takes us through America's history of using torture. The initial chapters are seriously excellent, as they lay theoretical groundwork for what torture is and who does it, covering the Stanley Milgram's infamous Stanford Experiment and other explorations of human reactions to authority and brutality. I've known Kristian for years (full disclosure) and his scholarship and dedication to exploring issues of power and violent social injustice is unparalleled. His writing is good too; layman-comprehensible while being fairly thorough. His far-left bias isn't hidden, but it's pretty well-supported within the text, and as I share it, it doesn't bother me overmuch.

Still perfectly captures those angsty, narcissistic teenage years, despite all you naysayers.
