I suggest you read the Chechnya stories, and find ones about the combatants. The deaths of captured combatants had to be slow and painful. Both sides did this.

For a "fun" read, try Cambodian Odyssey by Hang Ngor. He won an Oscar for his role in the Killing Fields, but that guy LIVED through three torture camps. He never met anyone who had been to more than one and lived to tell about it. And his stories of what went on in those camps still give me shivers when I think about it. The Killing Fields movie depicts virtually nothing like what actually happened.

And the point is, this shit still goes on to this day, all over the globe. When conditions are right, humans can be truly barbaric.
