Produktbeschreibung

Discover the chilling history of water torture, one of humanity's oldest and most insidious methods of coercion. From the medieval ordeals of the Inquisition to the dark alleys of colonial empires, and the clandestine interrogation rooms of modern conflicts, water torture has left a haunting legacy of pain, fear, and control. In When Water Kills, Eleanor Hystoré delves into the history, methods, and psychological impact of water torture, exploring its evolution across centuries and cultures. The book examines infamous practices like waterboarding, the "water cure," and dripping water torture, shedding light on the tools of torment and the institutions that perpetuated their use. Through survivor testimonies, accounts from interrogators, and declassified documents, it reveals the human cost of these cruel practices. Hystoré also tackles the enduring debate between the supposed efficacy of water torture and its undeniable moral and ethical implications. She traces global efforts to outlaw torture, highlighting how water torture has shaped international law and public opinion. This deeply researched and thought-provoking book not only confronts the harrowing legacy of water torture but also calls for a world where such practices are consigned to history. A must-read for those interested in human rights, history, and the ongoing fight for justice.
