Eminent Monsters

Eminent Monsters traces the roots of western governments' love affair with torture. In 1950s Montreal, Scottish-born psychiatrist Dr Ewen Cameron experimented on his patients, using sensory deprivation, forced comas and LSD injections. Covertly funded by the Canadian government and the CIA, his techniques have been used in Northern Ireland, Guantánamo and 27 countries around the world. Including extraordinary first-hand testimony from Guantánamo survivors, the Hooded Men from Northern Ireland, senior American psychologists and military personnel, Eminent Monsters reveals how the collusion of doctors to aid and abet torture began in the 1950s and continues to this day.
