Torments

C. S. White

Down, definitely down, through the ages Mankind has taken advantage of its powers to govern, to influence, to cooerce. No one is exempt. The Church, the Government, those in any position of power, have seldom missed a chance to stick it to the disenfranchised. Modern times are a little different. Only the settings and causes change. It is unusual that such dynamic writing is available on this extremely rare topic. Here are crucial periods of human history in which torture was not only the nameof the game but has been refined to a science. Kings, Emperors, Czars, Ceasars, misc Royalty and run-of-the-mill despots are in charge and woe be unto anyone who gets in their path. And not only just in history. Torments brings us contemporary and future examples. C.S.White's amazing naration will grab you and not turn you loose until you too have experienced what these men went through in dungeons and arenas of yesterday, today and tommorrow. Powerhouse writing on one very powerful subject.
