As the wife of a Guatemalan tortured to death, Jennifer Harbury brings a gripping and unique perspective to analyzing the role of torture in US policy. From Central America to Abu Ghraib, 23 cases are presented to illustrate stunning similarities between techniques that prove torturers had received training. CIA involvement, Harbury shows, is both direct and longstanding policy. Exhibiting a stellar range, Harbury draws on comparisons with Algeria and other conflicts to assess the efficacy of torture in the war against terrorism. A human rights lawyer, Jennifer Harbury has national name recognition for her three hunger strikes in an effort to save her husband's life, featured on 60 Minutes in the 1990s. She lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
