The Shadow of Torture: Debating US Transgressions in Military Interventions, 1899-2008

By Katrin Dauenhauer

The Shadow of Torture investigates debates on US torture during the Philippine-American War, the Vietnam War, and the Iraq War with the aim to provide a historical contextualization of the torture debate in the United States in the wake of Abu Ghraib. It argues that there are significant continuities, contrary to popular claims to exceptionalism.
