As we shall see, an unbroken thread links the friar-inquisitors who set up the rack and the pyre in southern France in the early thirteenth century to the torturers and executioners of Nazi Germany and Stalinist Russia in the mid-twentieth century. Nor does the thread stop at Auschwitz or the Gulag; it can be traced through the Salem witch trials in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II, the Hollywood blacklists of the McCarthy era, and even the interrogation cells at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo."--P. 3.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 272.2 Ki Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 272.2 Kirsch Checked In Add Copy to MyList Thelma Parker Memorial P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 272.2 Ki Damaged Add Copy to MyList
