This book about confessions is transformative. After reading these riveting stories from the interrogation room, you'll wonder what's worse -- that innocent people can be tricked into confession or that the rest of us are then deluded into believing those confessions. That's why, says Kassin, 'it is time for the system to cure itself of its addiction to confessions.' --Ken Burns, award-winning documentary filmmaker
