I'm putting together a list of the best books on Guantanamo.
My favorites are:
The Challenge: Hamdan v. Rumsfeld and the Fight over Presidential Power by Jonathan Mahler
The Dark Side: The Inside Story of How The War on Terror Turned into a War on American Ideals by Jane Mayer
(A powerful companion piece is the HBO film Ghosts of Abu Ghraib - watch it online here.)
Is There a Right to Remain Silent?: Coercive Interrogation and the Fifth Amendment After 9/11 by Alan Dershowitz
The Interrogators: Inside the Secret War Against al Qaeda by Chris Mackey
What do other people think?
