Cruel Britannia

A Secret History of Torture

Ian Cobain

Discover the shocking truth about the British government's involvement in torture and cover-up operations during WWII and post-9/11. This eye-opening book by Ian Cobain exposes the hideous realities of hooding, stress positions, starvation, sleep deprivation, and white noise pioneered by the British government. Delve into the dark secrets of the country's past and present, and uncover the resistance faced by those fighting for justice in the courts. It's time to question the widespread perception that the British "don't do" torture.

Two books I can’t recommend highly enough - each confounds the received wisdom of how Britain thinks of itself. I talked to the author of both, @IanCobain, this week for @novaramedia - interview out next Tuesday. Yes, British history matters alright!      source
