Sommario/riassunto

Samantha Newbery examines the origins and effects of a group of controversial interrogation techniques often described as torture, known as the 'five techniques'. Focusing on the colony of Aden at a time when British rule was being challenged by nationalist insurgents (1963-67), on the height of 'the troubles' in Northern Ireland (1971)



and the conflict in Iraq (2003), the book explores the use of hooding to restrict vision, white noise, stress positions, limited sleep and a limited diet.
