Examining the intersection of political torture and cultural representation, this book delves into how literature, film, and popular culture have shaped the discourse surrounding torture in the context of the post-9/11 global war on terrorism. It critically analyzes the moral implications for liberal democracies and questions the legitimacy of torture as a counter-terrorism measure, offering thought-provoking insights into the ethical dilemmas involved.
