In Justice at Guantanamo, Huskey tells the fascinating story of how she went from a childhood in Alaska to a civil war in Africa, the glitter (and grunge) of life in the Big Apple, backpacking overseas, and, finally, her true calling law. Huskey was one of the first female lawyers to represent detainees of the Guantanamo Bay detention camp including those in two cases that yielded a landmark Supreme Court decision allowing them to challenge their status in federal courts.
