The History of Torture Throughout the Ages

1940. The author makes no apology for his presentation of a gruesome picture of man's inhumanity. The record, stark and terrible as it truly is, should drive home to all thinking persons the need for every effort being made to eliminate all forms of cruelty. The grim account of torture in our own time should make it clear to ever reader the danger and possibility of an outbreak at any time or place. Illustrated.
