This is a book of blasphemers, world menders, troublemakers, torturers and turbulent priests of every persuasion. * A distinctive mix of art and politics, addressing a tremendous range of ethical, artistic and political questions * Engages with fundamental, and controversial, issues of international life: terror, torture, secrecy, privacy, memory and identity
