How and with what to cause pain? The most complete collection of torture instruments.
From the simple fist and rough boot to the vice, the rack and hallucinogenic drugs, torture has been used throughout history to punish, intimidate or extract confessions. This unique illustrated publication examines torture methods and instruments from ancient times to the present day. Michael Kerrigan included in the book not only shocking descriptions of the principles of operation of the “iron maiden”, “Spanish collar”, “scavenger’s daughter”, “shameful chair”, “garrucha for ankles and wrists”, the famous “Spanish boot” and other devices. The author also demonstrated what can be done using an ordinary low bench, plain drinking water or a mobile phone. Gloomy illustrations and testimonies of torture survivors create a depressing atmosphere of a documentary thriller and can cause fear and horror in an unprepared reader.
— Rare illustrations. Over 100 shocking military and police photos, detailed drawings, diagrams and vintage engravings.
— Unique concept. In the book's 11 chapters, instruments of torture are grouped by method and type of pain inflicted.
- The whole world and all eras. The author finds paradoxical similarities and differences in torture devices and techniques in different countries of the world from antiquity to the present day.
- Real events. Grim examples from historical documents, memoirs, and scientific research are complemented by moving quotes from confessions of victims of painful torture and witnesses to horrific executions.
