4.0 out of 5 stars unnecessarily crude and rather incomplete, May 27, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Physical Interrogation Techniques (Paperback)

The author's descriptions of modern paramilitary torture did not surprise this reader. However, his need to pepper the descriptions with vulgarities and obscenities was rather disturbing. The book does demonstrate "rough and ready" techniques of torture but fails to capture the elegance of low-tech medieval solutions. The modern procedures may be effective, but a crudely built wooden foot squeezer operated by hand-made iron screws is far more ingenious and intellectually appealing than any of Krousher's 20th-century procedures.

Although a lot of the information is accurate, I got the distict impression that Richard enjoyed writing this book far more than was appropriate! 100 reasons why one oughta eat one's gun rather than be captured alive in some backwards 3rd world hellhole! NOT for the squeamish (or anyone else for that matter!).

This book is one of the most realistic ones I've ever seen. It's amazing the number of techniques explained in the book to extract informations or cause pain to somebody...The details are well described... You need a good health to finish reading this book without getting sick while reading the manners to torture someone...
