I really enjoyed this book, I learned a lot and it was no where near as graphic as I thought it would be. The inquisition, the author argues, laid the ground work for the Holocaust, the USSR trials and gulags, the Japanese internment and McCarthy trials, and the evils of the Patriot Act. I don‘t agree with all of that, but the development of the manuals and the history of the inquisition, the majority of the book, are fascinating. 4/5 stars
