The Least Worst Place
Guantanamo's First 100 Days
Karen J. Greenberg's account of the first months of the Guantanamo Bay detention camp, published by Oxford University Press in 2009.
Karen Greenberg traces the opening of the Guantanamo Bay detention camps in January 2002, from hurried preparations to confusion over whether detainees fell under the Geneva Conventions. She describes Marine officers who tried to build a humane and just camp, and the Bush administration plans that cut against them. Yosri Fouda values her legal angle and says she concludes the abuse was a fully fledged state practice, including torture.

She tackles it from a legal point of view which is very interesting, what it means and how it is possible, if at all, to get out of this mess.
