Guantanamo: The War on Human Rights

Drawing on his firsthand research in Cuba, Rose, a journalist for the BBC, contends that the post-9-11 Guantanamo Bay detention camp for suspected terrorists constitutes a gross abuse of human rights and proves that the camp is not an effective tool for combating terrorism. Interviews with guards, intelligence officials, military lawyers, and former detainees reveal that the men being held, not formally recognized as prisoners of war, are subject to treatment that falls outside the guidelines of The Geneva Convention. Rose condemns the Bush Administration for creating its own concentration camp. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
