Link to the Show / Show NotesJennifer Harbury discusses her new book Truth, Torture, and the American Way: The History and Consequences of U.S. Involvement in Torture. Harbury’s investigation into torture began when her husband disappeared in Guatemala in 1992; she told the story of his torture and murder in Searching for Everardo. For over a decade since, Harbury has used her formidable legal, research, and organizing skills to press for the U.S. government’s disclosure of America’s involvement in harrowing abuses in Latin America, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East.
