Evil is all around us. It is inescapable. We see it in the newspaper headlines that report murder, rape and assault; we see it all too graphically when our TV screens relay pictures of violence, war and genocide. Most of us, however, are lucky enough never to have experienced the brutalization of political or religious oppression, and tie poverty, disease and famine brought about by institutional corruption.
For those who were unfortunate enough to fall under the influence or control of the thirteen men featured in this book, or who became unwitting victims of their monstrous crimes, there would be no mercy, no reprieve and not even the slimmest chance of a life free from the shadow of fear.
