人类酷刑简史
(u. S.) Mark P. Donnelly Daniel Dill
Over thousands of years, humans have devised many ingenious and cruel ways to inflict pain on their fellow humans. This sad but seemingly universal trait corrodes the very civilization humans strive for. Although we seem to abhor torture today, it has been an integral part of much of the law throughout Europe and the Far East for more than 3,000 years. A Brief History of Human Torture explores various methods of punishment, torture, coercion, and torture. It takes readers into the ancient Roman arena, medieval dungeons, the Inquisition, the Inquisition, witch trials and the most brutal prisons. This is a shocking and compelling study that reveals the shameful methods and motives of torturers and executioners, as well as the heinous acts they have committed throughout the ages.
