Gobs o' fun

This is quite possibly the funniest book I have ever read.

Scary Stuff - Physical Interrogation is...

I read this book from cover to cover. Picture yourself driving down the highway; you notice a huge accident happen about 20 cars in front of you. Traffic stops. Do you get out and try to help? Do you get out to look? How about when you drive by an accident that happened recently? Why do you look at it? Trying to see dead bodies? Decapitations? Gross, huh? But you just can't help looking!! This book is the same way. It was incredibly difficult to put down. The ideas are sound. The whole thing makes sense; from the nakedness as a break-down technique to humble your target, to the passage about the eyeball. Don't ask - just read the book. You will certainly be grossed out. You will definately look at Physical interrogation (AKA "Torture") in whole new manner.... FEAR!!

Disturbing--yes, informative, definitely

This book was very detailed in its description of how to torture someone. Parts of it will make your stomach turn. I got the impression that it was written as sort of a military "how-to" book, with the author often making statements such as, "a commander needs to know [torture techniques]" etc, etc.

Deep inside pain's world

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...

unnecessarily crude and rather incomplete

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.
