Cruel Britannia : A Secret History of Torture Paperback / softback
by Ian (Y) Cobain
Paperback / softback
- Information
Description
The official line is clear: the UK does not 'participate in, solicit, encourage or condone' torture. And yet, the evidence is irrefutable: when faced with potential threats to our national security, the gloves always come off. Drawing on previously unseen official documents, and the accounts of witnesses, victims and experts, prize-winning investigative journalist Ian Cobain looks beyond the cover-ups and the equivocations, to get to the truth.
From WWII to the War on Terror, via Kenya and Northern Ireland, Cruel Britannia shows how the British have repeatedly and systematically resorted to torture, bending the law where they can, and issuing categorical denials all the while.
What emerges is a picture of Britain that challenges our complacency and exposes the lie behind our reputation for fair play.
