Reviews

A panoramic history of Guantanamo from Teddy Roosevelt to twenty-first century terrorism. Exhaustively researched and balanced, it will be recognized as the definitive history of America's most important overseas naval base. Brian Latell, author of After Fidel: Raul Castro and the Future of Cuba's Revolution ""Schwab has done a masterful job in this up-to-date history of our naval base in Cuba and the ongoing controversies - both domestic and international - its presence has generated from 1898 to the present."" Don Bohning, author of The Castro Obsession: U.S. Covert Operations in Cuba, 1959-1965 ""A fascinating look at the role of Guantanamo in U.S-Cuban relations that also illuminates the naval base's impact on Cuban history and politics."" Jaime Suchlicki, author of Cuba: From Columbus to Castro
