The book provides a detailed account of the torture and persecution that Coustos faced during his imprisonment, including the infamous ""water torture"" and other cruel methods used by the Inquisition to extract confessions from their prisoners.Oliver's book also sheds light on the workings of the Inquisition, its procedures, and the religious and political climate of Portugal during that time. The author provides a vivid and compelling description of the suffering endured by Coustos and the other victims of the Inquisition, as well as the bravery and resilience shown by those who resisted the Inquisition's oppressive regime.Overall, ""An Account of the Sufferings of John Coustos in the Inquisition at Lisbon"" is a valuable historical document that provides insight into one of the darkest periods of European history.
