Inhoud

Killing, maiming and ritual humiliation were once part of everyday life - and all these dread acts were carried out in the name of the law via politics of terror. Ingenious methods of perpetrating man's inhumanity have been created and the burden on victims has been immense. This book, exhaustively researched and graphically detailed, sheds light on a dark and hidden corner of history.
