Guantanamo from the point of view of the habeas lawyers - those courageous men and women who have stood up for the rule of law, the constitution and human rights as they represented the detainees beginning in December. Peter Jan Honigsburg, author of Our Nation, Unhinged: The Human Consequences of the War on Terror The narratives are excellent and very powerful, and provide an insightful view into what it is like to be a prisoner at Guantanamo and the challenges and emotional experiences in representing those prisoners. Jules Lobel, co-author of Less Safe, Less Free: Why America is Losing the War on Terror The desperate words, quoted here, of Gitmo detainees on torture grab the heart and do not let go. This compelling book on the American penal colony and its residents is a cautionary tale of overzealous executive wartime power and the awful mess it sometimes leaves behind. Publishers Weekly, 31st August 2009 A valuable contribution to the record of an unfinished story bound to reverberate for years to come.
