About the Book

"GITMO" explores the complex and controversial history of the Guantanamo Bay detention camp, from its pre-9/11 origins as a naval base on leased Cuban territory to its transformation into a symbol of the "War on Terror." The book delves into the legal and ethical quagmire created by the Bush administration's decision to detain suspected terrorists outside the reach of conventional legal systems, examining the development of the "unlawful enemy combatant" designation, the use of "enhanced interrogation techniques," and the ongoing struggles over habeas corpus rights. Through meticulous research, including government documents, legal filings, and firsthand accounts, "GITMO" reveals the human stories behind the headlines, exploring the experiences of detainees, the challenges faced by military and medical personnel, and the international condemnation that has dogged the camp for decades. From the makeshift cages of Camp X-Ray to the more permanent structures of Camp Delta and the secretive Camp 7, the book traces the evolution of the detention facility itself, reflecting the changing nature of its mission and the ongoing attempts to balance security concerns with legal and ethical obligations. "GITMO" examines the flawed intelligence that led to the detention of many innocent individuals, the devastating psychological impact of indefinite confinement, and the reported suicides and allegations of abuse that have plagued the camp's history. The book also analyzes the key Supreme Court cases that shaped the legal landscape of Guantanamo, the political maneuvering that has kept it open, and the ongoing efforts to find a path towards its closure. The book also covers the Obama administration's pledge to close Guantanamo and the obstacles it faced. It explores how policies shifted yet again under the Trump administration, which halted transfers and embraced indefinite detention. Finally, it examines the Biden administration's approach and the future prospects for this controversial facility. "GITMO" provides a comprehensive understanding of the camp's troubled past, present, and uncertain future, offering readers a crucial perspective on a controversial chapter in American history.
