A History Of Terror In The Name Of God
Author Jonathan Kirsch joins Larry to talk about his latest book, "The Grand Inquisitor's Manual." Kirsch recounts the abuses of the church, including torture and executions conducted by clergy in the name of God, during its 600 year holy war against heresy. He draws parallels between the Inquisition and modern persecutions like the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II, the McCarthy era blacklists, and the U.S military interrogations of prisoners in Abu Ghraib.
