Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

David Halliburton’s narration is the standout feature here. His measured tone conveys the gravity of McCoy’s revelations while maintaining a relentless pace that propels listeners through complex historical narratives and legal debates. The detailed descriptions of torture methods and their implementation make for an unflinching listen, but his ability to keep the pacing brisk prevents the audiobook from becoming overly dense or dry. A specific critique: some technical jargon might overwhelm less informed listeners, but Halliburton’s expertise in delivering these nuances ensures they are still accessible. Overall, 'Torture and Impunity' is a necessary listen for anyone interested in modern American history and the ethics of state power.
