Reviews

[Elliot Jones · Rating 4 out of 5]

An interesting read of the various forms of cruelty people inflict on one another, from debtors prisons to the work house, to discipline in the army. This book aims to educate and not just shock the reader. Many parallels are made between the treatment of people through history and today.
