BAD MEN
This revelatory book is a raw, first-hand account of the United States detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, and the men held there, told by one of the few individuals who has had independent access to the prison.
BAD MEN begins with a vivid and unique personal tour of Guantanamo based on the fifteen visits that human rights lawyer Clive Stafford-Smith has made there over the course of two years.
Stafford-Smith traces the proffered justifications for torture of terror suspects, such as the ticking time bomb, then catalogues the array of deceits that shield the actions of the prison authorities, recounts what happens when a military commission of an accused prisoner goes off-script, and explores the world of secret prisons – those lawless enclaves across the globe where powerful nations violate international law with impunity.
