Unjustifiable Means:

The Inside Story of How the CIA, Pentagon, and US Government Conspired to Torture

The book the US Government doesn't want you to read.

"Unjustifiable Means" delves deep into the illegal, immoral, and failed US Government-sanctioned torture policies. The book identifies those in authority who enabled and condoned the use of torture and other human rights abuses. It also identifies those individuals and leaders who, under enormous pressure, displayed integrity and courage in standing against torture and human degradation as an instrument of warfare.

“Unjustifiable Means” provides detailed insider information on the government’s decision to implement “Enhanced Interrogation Techniques” (EIT) - TORTURE - and the backchannels and deception employed to legalize EIT methods and hide them from the public’s view. Hard-hitting, raw, and explosive, “Unjustifiable Means” exposes those who were responsible for the torture program. It also identifies the heroes who risked their careers to oppose torture and the leadership challenges they faced trying to bring terrorists to justice while protecting human rights – and upholding the US Constitution they swore an oath to defend and protect. By casting a defining light on one of America’s darkest periods, the book serves as a cautionary tale for those who wield the power to reinstate torture. (ReganArts 2017)

Interrogation and Torture:

Integrating Efficacy with Law and Morality

This volume delves into interrogation and torture at a unique moment as significant developments continue to unfurl: 1) emerging scientific research into the most effective interrogation techniques; 2) efforts to integrate this science and practice into international law. Contributors present key elements of the burgeoning research and authors explore their impacts on other fields. Most noteworthy, this knowledge and science is being brought to bear on the realm of international law as the UN Special Rapporteur on Torture launched an initiative at the close of his mandate in 2016 to create a Universal Protocol to set standards for non-coercive interviewing. Universal Protocols on Investigative Interviewing (Scheduled to be published by Oxford University Press 2019)
