Review
"Dr. Robert Edgerton artfully describes torture by taking us on a Cook's Tour that transports us from Africa to Asia to the New World... Edgerton offers no apology for torture, a path some scholars have recently taken. He quite emphatically asserts that torture is 'a plague upon humanity.'" - Professor Keith Otterbein Department of Anthropology State University of New York at Buffalo "In this comprehensive global survey, we learn that torture is found in virtually all human societies... There is a lesson here for all." - Professor Philip L Kilbride Department of Anthropology Bryn Mawr College "As in many of his earlier works, Dr. Edgerton bravely confronts behavior that many of us would prefer not to acknowledge... The book does not set out to explain torture, but to document its occurrence in a wide range of settings. Edgerton does not flinch and thus has presented the field with a book that may be difficult for some to read, but of great value to the field." - Dr. Jill E. Korbin Professor of Anthropology Case Western Reserve University"
