Torture & Dungeons

by John McIlwain

Mankind likes to consider itself civilized. Sadly, this civilization is only skin-deep and man's inhumanity to man, both in war and peace, has always been a cause for shame. But how should traitors, criminals and society's enemies be dealt with? This book shows some of the means used to chastise and punish down through the ages. Look out for more Pitkin Guides on the very best of British history, heritage and travel.

Not sure where I picked this up, but it (in terms of looks, information, etc) is a lot like one of those pamphlets you’d pick up at a tourist kiosk or grab at a museum. Content is Euro-centric.
