A brave and expertly written journalistic investigation of the Nazi-level horrors inflicted on Brazilians and Uruguayans by the American government. Dan Mitrione was a small town Hoosier cop and family man who was sent to Brazil and later Uruguay to "train" the police of these countries. There he tortured dissidents and homeless "guinea pigs," priding himself in keeping his victims alive as long as possible while exerting the maximum amount of pain, all the while devising novel torture methods.

This shameful chapter of our history should be known cold by every American, and yet here the book languishes, with not even a cover provided. To add insult to injury, Goodreads suggests I might like a book on "Conspiracy Theories" because I liked this one.
