    About this ebook

    ‘I don't know what crime I am supposed to have committed for which not only I but my wife and children should continually suffer.’ - British detainee Moazzam Begg

    Weaving together personal stories, legal opinion and political debate, Guantanamo: Honor Bound to Defend Freedom looks at the questions surrounding the detentions in Guantanamo Bay, and asks how much damage is being done to Western democratic values during the 'war on terror'.
