The Politics of Prisoner Abuse The United States and Enemy Prisoners after 9/11

'This important book details the massive abuse of human rights of US prisoners since 9/11. It is up to date as of July 2010, thus covering the problematic actions of the Obama Administration as well as that of George W. Bush. In a form accessible to scholars, students, and the general public, Dr Forsythe's careful research and analysis underscore how fragile human rights become when national security seems to be at stake.'
