A sweeping history of the Inquisition and its influence in today's culture. Tackling the provocative subject of church-sanctioned terror in the 12th century, Kirsch examines the torture of thousands of 'heretics'---and shows how the Inquisition's legacy lives on in the 1692 Salem witch trials, Nazi Germany, and the prison cells of Abu Ghraib and Guantanomo. 304 pages, softcover from HarperOne.
