Guantanamo A Critical History Of The U.s. Base In Cuba

A new, expanded edition of a totally unique history of Guantanamo, Cuban territory seized by the United States after the Spanish-American War and held in perpetuity. The authors document how, since the 1959 revolution, the U.S. occupation has been challenged as a violation of Cuban sovereignty and how Cuba has refused to cash the annual rental checks paid by Washington. New chapters discuss the legal and the political implications of the continued U.S. occupation and the indefinite detention of "enemy combatants" captured in the "war on terror." "Two years after opening a detention camp at its naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, the United States continues to ignore international law in its treatment of the detainees."-"Human Rights WatchDeutschmann, David is the author of 'Guantanamo A Critical History Of The U.s.
