Terrorism, Ticking Time-Bombs, and Torture
For the past year and a half, I’ve been working on a book tentatively entitled Terrorism, Ticking Time-Bombs and Torture; it’s under contract with University of Chicago Press and should be out by the early 2011. In the meantime, draft chapters are posted for those who want to start reading. Feedback is welcome from anyone, though I would just ask you not to cite to the unpublished drafts. (Radio interviews are also available.)
