Guantanamo

Human rights lawyer Michael Ratner and Covert Action editor Ellen Ray reveal the truth about Guantanamo Bay Naval Station and the creation of a new network of US detention camps around the world. They give a definitive account of what Guantanamo means for the rule of law, for liberty, democracy, and the right to dissent. Gathered here for the first time, this volume also includes the governmental memoranda and orders that led to this system of detention without accountability, a letter from two recently released Guantanamo detainees, details of Ratner’s Center For Constitutional Rights Supreme Court case on the Guantanamo detainees, and excerpts from the Geneva Convention.
