The coral atoll of Diego Garcia (British Indian Ocean Territory)
today is a pivotal US naval and air base for all Middle East
operations (Afghanistan, Iraq, and potentially, Iran). This book,
largely based on hitherto unpublished source material, describes
the build-up of the base - starting with a secret US-UK bilateral
deal in 1966; the deportation of the native island population in
the 1970s; the clouded new role of Diego Garcia as a destination
for Guantanamo-style 'renditions'; and the impacts of military
construction on the environment of the island - which because of
its average elevation of 4 ft above sea-level is at direct risk
from climate change
