Guantanamo: The Bay of Discord

A comprehensive and timely analysis of the controversial US naval base in Cuba. A new, expanded edition of a totally unique history of Guantánamo, Cuban territory seized by the United States after the Spanish-American War and held in perpetuity.

The authors document how, since the 1959 revolution, the US.occupation has been challenged as a violation of Cuban sovereignty and how Cuba has refused to cash the annual rental checks paid by Washington. New chapters discuss the legal and political implications of the continued US occupation and the indefinite detention of "enemy combatants" captured in the "war on terror".
