Summary:"Though unparalleled in its perfidy, our era is also the first in which people are trying to do something about crimes against humanity and such treacheries as torture and cruel and inhumane treatment of others. The first step toward remediation is exposure of wrongs, and this is the task ably researched and brilliantly presented by Laurel E. Fletcher and Eric Stover in The Guantanamo Effect. Their well-written narrative style makes the work a unique teaching resource, and the scholarship on this important topic is first rate. As such, it deserves widespread attention and public understanding
