Rye Miles #13621 Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Just finished it, the war on terror. Good read but depressing. The terrorists are awful brutal. Some of the tortures were inhuman! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have and yes there were some really brutal tortures then as well. Without going into detail there's quite a few in this book that I never heard of.

LawMan Mark, SASS #57095L Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 “The belief in a supernatural source of evil is not necessary; men alone are quite capable of every wickedness.” Joseph Conrad Just ordered a Kindle copy of the book.
