The coral atoll of Diego Garcia (British Indian Ocean Territory) today is a pivotal US naval and air base for all Middle East operations (Afghanistan, Iraq, and potentially, Iran). This book, largely based on hitherto unpublished source material, describes the build-up of the base- starting with a secret US-UK bilateral deal in 1966; the deportationof the native island population in the 1970s; the clouded new role of Diego Garcia as a destination for Guantenamo-style 'renditions'; and theimpacts of military construction on the environment of the island - which because of its average elevation of 4 ft above sea-level is at direct risk from climate change.
