Synopsis Broken Under Interrogation, by Jeffrey M. Hopkins, brings into stark perspective the lasting impact of war’s painful legacy; a world morally skewed by cruelty and twisted with self-interest. Through a series of reminiscences scattered throughout a brutal interrogation, Hopkins’s jolting and austere portrayal of one man’s crusade to mete out justice challenges pat notions of right and wrong, good and evil, and the sanctity of the American Dream. Hopkins explores human nature in a context overflowing with moral ambiguity and ethical doubt, where the lines between justice and degradation become blurred, if not made thoroughly invisible. With “kick in the teeth” style and a narrative voice that demands attention, Broken Under Interrogation imparts a cautionary tale of what might be: a story as chilling in its contemporary significance as it is ominous in its vision of the future.
