Death Squads in Global Perspective: Murder with Deniability - Thryft
Death Squads in Global Perspective: Murder with Deniability - Thryft

Grisly truth behind state-sanctioned violence.

If you're intrigued by the darker aspects of global politics and the ethical quandaries they produce, "Death Squads in Global Perspective" will take you on a deep dive. This book isn't for the faint-hearted; it examines the chilling rationale and pervasiveness of state-tolerated extrajudicial killings. While it's a complex topic, the thoughtful analysis is eye-opening for those interested in the gritty realities of modern governance and international affairs.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

This groundbreaking examination of death squads provides a historical perspective of how governments use death squads and how the participation of non-state forces is an extreme instance of the "subcontracting" of tasks characteristic of modern states. Death squads are not simply a product of the Cold War, or of "weak" third-world nations, but are linked to a crisis of the modern state. This collection brings experts from around the world to look at death squads in places such as El Salvador, Weimar Germany, Bosnia, India, Indonesia, Brazil, and South Africa.
