This timely and passionate book is the first to address itself to Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz’s controversial arguments for the limited use of interrogational torture and its legalisation.

Takes on the advocates of torture on their own utilitarian grounds
Timely and passionately written, in an accessible, jargon-free style
Forms part of the provocative and timely Blackwell Public Philosophy series
