"The soul is somehow all that exists" : spirituality and human dignity -- Breaking the will :spirituality and the definition of torture --Assaulting the spirit : why torture is wrong -- Does torture work? : consequentialism's failures -- No reason to torture : dirty hands and spiritual damage -- Machiavelli's challenge : torture and memory.

This book shows how torture spiritually assaults the person. The "war on terror" has sparked great debate about torture. What exactly is torture? Should we torture suspected terrorists if they have information about future violent acts? Defining torture carefully, the book defendsthe idea that all people are valuable, and rejects moral defenses of torture. It focuses particularly on practices like sensory deprivation, which perniciously attack the human psyche. It also calls for an absolute ban on all torture, and urges Americans to repent for the torture the U.S. committed in the "war on terror.".
