The book delves into the complex relationship between political torture and its representation in literature, film, and popular culture during the post-9/11 era. It critically examines the legitimacy of torture as a counterterrorism tactic within liberal democracies, juxtaposing it against human rights arguments that deem torture morally unacceptable. By exploring philosophical foundations of both pro- and anti-torture perspectives, the author analyzes how these views manifest in various cultural texts and evaluates their real-world implications.
