“Challenges nearly all of our comfortable assumptions about Guantánamo. Hickman’s book is a bold and provocative reading of the available record, backed by a deep understanding of the political reality.”—Joseph Margulies, author of Guantánamo and the Abuse of Presidential Power
“A significant contribution to the Guantánamo literature and the broader issues that have evolved from the Guantánamo experience. A very good book on an important subject.”—Mark Denbeaux, coeditor of The Guantánamo Lawyers: Inside a Prison Outside the Law
 In January 2002, under orders from the Bush administration, twenty prisoners were selected from a much larger group to be transported to special facility in Cuba. Over the next several years, the Guantánamo Bay Naval Base in the southeastern corner of the island was transformed into a prison camp housing approximately seven hundred detainees captured during the war in Afghanistan. The men, some just boys when first captured, have been subjected to a range of sophisticated physical and psychological tortures, held incommunicado and indefinitely. More than a decade later, many are still threatened with prosecution yet denied minimal due process rights.
In the aftermath of 9/11, few questioned the political narrative provided by the White House about Guantánamo and the steady stream of prisoners delivered there from half a world away. The Bush administration gave various rationales for the detention of prisoners captured in the War on Terror: they represented extraordinary threats to the American people, possessed valuable enemy intelligence, and were awaiting prosecution for terrorism or war crimes. The prisoners were exhibited to politicians, diplomats, and other elites. Even the press was given a glimpse of the shackled men in orange jumpsuits. Both explicitly and implicitly, journalists, pundits, lawyers, academics, and even released prisoners who authored books about the island prison endorsed elements of the official narrative.
In Selling Guantánamo, John Hickman exposes the holes in this manufactured story. He shines a spotlight on the critical actors, including Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, and President George Bush himself, and examines how the facts belie the “official” accounts. He chastises the apologists and the critics of the administration, arguing that both failed to see the forest for the trees. 
By looking at historical examples of prisoners held in continued custody during asymmetric conflicts and national security crises Hickman unravels the putative from the proven and reveals exactly why the current internment of prisoners at the infamous naval base is so unprecedented and unique. Constructing his argument from the existing domestic and international record, he offers an alternate theory that completely contradicts the narrative spun by the Bush administration: the prisoners were put on display as symbols of military victory, punished as substitutes for the architects of 9/11 who remained at large, and used as pawns in a neoconservative move to signal a new U.S. foreign policy that ignored the United Nations, disregarded the Geneva Conventions, and scoffed at the International Criminal Court.
John Hickman is associate professor of government at Berry College.

For most of us today, the enchantment of the Galapagos lies not in the rather forbidding scenery that Darwin and Melville described so vividly, but in their truly fascinating wildlife. No less fascinating, but much less familiar, is the history of their original discovery, and the accounts of them given by their early visitors, as set out by John Hickman in this highly readable book which covers its history from prior to the Spaniards (supported by Thor Heyerdahl's discovery of Chimu pottery), through its use by smugglers and whalers. After 1832, the govemment of Ecuador assumed nominal responsibility for the administration of the Galpagos, though it was some time before any close control was exercised.In Darwin's footsteps came a series of scientific expeditions led among others by Rollo Beck, William Beebe, Victor Wolfgang von Hagen and David Lack. In 1959, the Charles Darwin Foundation for the Galapagos Islands was formally constituted under Belgian law, and in 1964 the Research Station on Santa Cruz Island was opened. A few years later the Galapagos National Park Service came into operation. The whole story with its ups and downs, its successes and failures, is told in a masterful manner by John Hickman combining historical detail with human interest to great effect.
