Darius Rejali, one of the world's leading experts on torture, takes the reader from the late nineteenth century to the aftermath of Abu Ghraib, from slavery and the electric chair to electrotorture in American inner cities, and from French and British colonial prison cells and the Spanish-American War to the fields of Vietnam, the wars of the Middle East, and the new democracies of Latin America and Europe. As Rejali traces the development and application of one torture technique after another in these settings, he reaches startling conclusions. As the twentieth century progressed, he argues, democracies not only tortured, but set the international pace for torture. Dictatorships may have tortured more, and more indiscriminately, but the United States, Britain, and France pioneered and exported techniques that have become the lingua franca of modern torture: methods that leave no marks. Under the watchful eyes of reporters and human rights activists, low-level authorities in the world's oldest democracies were the first to learn that to scar a victim was to advertise iniquity and invite scandal. Long before the CIA even existed, police and soldiers turned instead to "clean" techniques, such as torture by electricity, ice, water, noise, drugs, and stress positions. As democracy and human rights spread after World War II, so too did these methods. Rejali makes this troubling case in fluid, arresting prose and on the basis of unprecedented research--conducted in multiple languages and on several continents--begun years before most of us had ever heard of Osama bin Laden or Abu Ghraib. The author of a major study of Iranian torture, Rejali also tackles the controversial question of whether torture really works, answering the new apologists for torture point by point. A brave and disturbing book, this is the benchmark against which all future studies of modern torture will be measured. 606 $aTorture 606 $aTorture$xGovernment policy 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aTorture. 615 0$aTorture$xGovernment policy. 676 $a364.6/7 700 $aRejali$b Darius M$01049743 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455406203321 996 $aTorture and democracy$92479007 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03957nam 2200601 a 450 001 9910790136003321 005 20230801222317.0 010 $a3-8428-2148-4 035 $a(CKB)2670000000171142 035 $a(EBL)887631 035 $a(OCoLC)784887741 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000656201 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12257098 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000656201 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10631682 035 $a(PQKB)11040822 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC887631 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL887631 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10553211 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000171142 100 $a20120424d2012 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 14$aThe global player$b[electronic resource] $ehow to become "the logistics company for the world" /$fThomas Musiolik 210 $aHamburg $cDiplomica Verlag$d2012 215 $a1 online resource (89 p.) 300 $aTitle from cover. 311 $a3-8428-7148-1 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references. 327 $aThe Global Player: How to become ""the logistics company for the world""; Expression of thanks; Index; List of abbreviations; List of figures; List of tables; Executive Summary; 1.
