Book on "Terror Courts"


I look forward (if that's the right phrase) to reading Jess Bravin, The Terror Courts: Rough Justice at Guantanamo Bay (Yale University Press, 2013).

By the accounts of many people - e.g., Jeffrey Toobin, Sir Kenneth Keith, Anne Marie Slaughter, Garrett Epps, John D. Hutson,  and Louis E. Caldera - this book is superb.
