  • The first book to address itself directly to Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz’s controversial arguments for the limited legalized use of interrogational torture in so-called ‘ticking bomb’ scenarios
  • Argues that the respectability these arguments confer on the view that torture is a legitimate weapon in the war on terror needs urgently to be countered
  • Takes on the advocates of torture on their own utilitarian grounds
  • Timely and passionately written, in an accessible, jargon-free style
  • Forms part of the provocative and timely Blackwell Public Philosophy series
