Established as America's first foreign naval base following the Spanish-American War, Guantanamo is now more often thought of as our Devil's Island, the gulag of our times. Guantanamo, USA by Stephen Schwab takes readers beyond the orange-jumpsuited detainees of today's headlines to provide the first comprehensive history of Guantanamo from its origins to the present. Stephen Schwab is a former senior analyst for the CIA's South America Division and now teaches history at the University of Alabama.
