First published in 2005. Torture, an enduring and seemingly not declining aspect of man's relationship to his fellow man, is an enduring thread through human history. Whether it be practiced by primitive people, the ancient Greeks or the Catholic Church, whether it be ancient China, Japan, 1930's Germany, or Northern Ireland today, torture is alarmingly systematic and consistent in its methods. Impaling, burning, rack or wheel, mutilation, drawing and quartering, burning or hanging alive in chains. A very comprehensive and readable work.

Explains the history of torture, including the Inquisition and the witch hunts in Europe, and the efforts of Amnesty International to secure the banning of torture worldwide. Torture-the deliberate infliction of pain upon the human body-is condemned by most civilized countries as an inexcusable crime, but it is still practiced in many parts of the modern world. For over 3,000 years, it was regarded as acceptable and formed a part of most legal codes in Europe and the East. Torture was deemed necessary as a means of discovering truth, and the absence of most other methods of criminal investigation in earlier times justified its use. But crime could cover a multitude of activities that were considered contrary to the existing social order. The Inquisition, for example, established the principle that steadily increased pain would force heretics to confess their sins against the Church, a practice that was extended by civil authorities in the campaign against witchcraft to the point that it provoked near-hysteria in medieval Europe. While torture remained a part of legal practice, the techniques of the torturers-horrific though they were-were subject to a degree of control. But in more recent times, notably during World War II, the torturers have been sadists who derived pleasure from subjecting their victims to terrible suffering.

Torture is perhaps the most unequivocally banned practice in the world today. Yet recent photographs from Abu Ghraib substantiated claims that the United States and some of its allies are using methods of questioning relating to the war on terrorism that could be described as torture or, at the very least, as inhuman and degrading. In terror's wake, the use of such methods, at least under some conditions, has gained some prominent defenders, notably from within the White House. In this revised edition, Torture: A Collection brings together leading lawyers, political theorists, social scientists, and public intellectuals to debate the advisability of maintaining the absolute ban and to reflect on what it says about our societies if we do--or do not--adhere to it in all circumstances. New to this edition are essays by Charles Krauthammer and Andrew Sullivan on the adoption in 2005 of the McCain Amendment, which explicitly bars the use of torture and other cruel methods of interrogation.

From ancient times to today, there is no question that torture has been an integral part of human history. From the worlds first documented society of Mesopotamia to the present day; from the famous to the most obscure; and from the Far East to the West and every society in between, the Dictionary of Torture shares fascinating facts on how torture and execution methods have been used throughout history. Nigette Spikes, a researcher and torture historian, relies on years of research to share a compilation of torture methods from around the world. Whether it was to punish criminals in Abu Gharib, extract confessions from accused witches of Salem, or for the sadistic pleasures of Vlad the Impaler, every alphabetical entry graphically describes a torture and its origins. From the fearsome breast ripper, the terrifying spiked collar, the pear of anguish, and the Judas cradle, Spikes reveals what went on in the dungeon of a medieval castle, how Inquisitioners extracted confessions from sinners, and what kind of tortures are still used today. Dictionary of Torture is a one-of-a-kind collection of torture facts that reveal detailed descriptions of methods and explore world history from the first documented society several millennia ago to present day.
