Guantanamo : A Critical History of the U.S. Base in Cuba (9781920888046)

This is a comprehensive and timely analysis of the controversial US naval base in Cuba. It is an expanded edition of a totally unique history of Guantanamo. Guantanamo was seized by the United States after the Spanish-American War and held in perpetuity. Since the Cuban Revolution of 1959, the US naval base and detention centre therein have been challenged repeatedly as a violation of Cuban sovereignty, and yet another example of the crass and bombastic way in which the Motherland ignores the standards of its own rules. The Cuban government has refused to cash any of the rent cheques paid by Washington and the base remains a very prominent thorn in the side of the American administration. Deutschmann and Ricardo discuss the legal and political implications of the continued US occupation and the indefinite detention of "enemy combatants" captured in the "war on terror". In the light of the United States' continued policy of roughshod gung to politics, this is a timely and serious addition to the literature both on Cuba and the world.
