First edition. P/bk. Pages browned and covers sl. creased at corners and soiled, with sl. rubbing along extremities. VG. One of the first books to study the torture and brutality meted out by the British Security Forces in Northern Ireland. It specifically covers the torture of 14 Irish internees in the period of August to October 1971. The white noise, beatings, mock executions, sleep and sensory deprivation were handed out to this group of men, often innocent detainees, in an attempt for the authorities, many of them army psychiatrists and counter-terroist strategists, to study the effects of SD and other methods of psychological torture. Some of these men were actually driven out of their minds. They received no apology, no admission of guilt let alone any recompense.
