HANSEN, JONATHAN M. - Guantánamo an American History
New York: Hill and Wang, 2011. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. ISBN: 0809053411. As new ; A near-fine volume in a near-fine DJ, dustjacket in Mylar, unclipped. ; 160.53 X 40.01 X 9.38 millimeters; 448 pages; "In Guantánamo: An American History, Jonathan M. Hansen presents the first complete account of this fascinating place. The U.S. presence at Guantánamo predates even the nation itself, as the bay figured centrally in the imperial expansion plans of colonist and British sailor Lawrence Washington-half brother of the future president George. As the young United States rose in power, Thomas Jefferson and his followers envisioned a vast "empire of liberty," which hinged on U.S. control of the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea. Politically and geographically, Guantánamo Bay was the key to this strategy. So when Cubans took up arms against their Spanish rulers in 1898, America swooped in to ensure that Guantánamo would end up firmly in its control. Over the next century, the American navy turned the bay into an idyllic modern Mayberry-complete with bungalows, cul-de-sacs, and country clubs-which base residents still enjoy. In many ways, Guantánamo remains more quintessentially American than America itself: a distillation of the idealism and arrogance that has characterized U.S. national identity and foreign policy from the very beginning.".
