- Summary:
- For most Americans the terms 'torture' and 'terrorism' evoke barbaric regimes and savage enemies, not liberal democracies like the US. By developing victim-centred definitions of torture and terrorism, American Torture and American Terrorism reveals how state violence that inflicts torture and terrorism has been embedded within American institutions since the country's founding.
