Praised as a “tour-de-force deconstruction of Bush’s supermax
gulag” (San Diego Union Tribune) when first published in
hardcover, Guantánamo makes shocking allegations about the
infamous U.S. detention camp in Cuba. Award-winning journalist
David Rose argues that the camp not only constitutes a grotesque
abuse of human rights but is also ineffective as a tool for
combating terrorism. Through firsthand research in Cuba, government
documents, and dozens of interviews with guards, intelligence
officials, military lawyers, and former detainees, Rose sheds light
on Gitmo’s ugly inner workings. He reveals that, contrary to the
Bush administration’s claims, the prisoners at Guantánamo are
not “the hardest of the hard-core” Al Qaeda terrorists,
ruthless men “involved in a plot to kill thousands of ordinary
Americans.” And he provides solid evidence that the brutal
interrogations that supposedly justify the camp’s existence have
yielded very little useful intelligence.
