NOTE: Using cases from three different countries (the torture of IRA suspects by the British Army in 1971; the torture of Palestinians by Israeli troops in 1988; and the torture of a cop-killing suspect by Chicago police in 1982) Conway describes the dynamics of torture. In all three cases, when evidence of torture was brought to light it was met with denial and minimization which protected the torturers rather than their victims. Interviews with both victims and torturers.

NOTE: Essays by lawyers, political theorists, and social scientists on the advisability of maintaining the absolute ban on torture and what it says about our societies if we do--or do not--adhere to it in all circumstances. One important question is how we define torture at all. Are "cruel and inhumane" practices that result in profound physical or mental discomfort tolerable so long as they do not meet some definition of "torture"? And how much "transparency" do we really want with regard to interrogation practices? Is "don't ask, don't tell" an acceptable response to those who concern themselves about these practices? Contributors include noted Ariel Dorfman, Elaine Scarry, Alan Dershowitz, Judge Richard Posner, Michael Walzer, Jean Bethke Elshtain, and other lawyers from both the United States and abroad.

NOTE: Autobiographical essays on the poet-novelist's thirteen years as a political prisoner in Uruguay. Topics include the author’s recollections of childhood and interactions with his captors and fellow prisoners, his descriptions of specific tortures and interrogations, his meditations on the human will to survive and the equally human capacity for evil. One essay is on how torture corrupts and distorts language. In Truck of fools Liscano reclaims his voice.

SUMMARY: (from the preface) This book is for anyone who interviews or interrogates others. It applies to a variety of settings: job or school interviewing, legal practice, church work, medicine, mental health, security, news and investigative reporting, military debriefing and intelligence, law enforcement, sales and service industries. Obtaining information from others in today's world of multimedia information requires a thorough knowledge of human nature and sophisticated communications skills. Those are the two goals of this book. The major emphasis is on scientific interview and interrogation based on the latest information on personality and behavior, emotion and motivation, needs and defenses, what is normal and what is abnormal.
