Brutal treatments explores the role medical doctors played in the colonial counterinsurgency campaigns in British Kenya (1952-1960) and French Algeria (1954-1962) in the final years of empire.

It not only examines how these medical professionals became embroiled in the conflict, but also how they used their knowledge to further the interests of the state. The book makes a substantial and significant contribution to the history of medicine, the history of medical ethics, and the history of colonialism.
