Summary
"The Trial of Donald Rumsfeld compiles the evidence that the Bush administration is guilty of war crimes and presents it in the form of a court case brought by one of the premier civil and human rights organizations in the United States. The book lays out proof that high-level officials of the Bush administration ordered, authorized, implemented, and permitted war crimes, in particular the crimes of torture and cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment in the name of fighting the "war on terror."" "The Trial of Donald Rumsfeld is based on the original war crimes lawsuit filed by the Center for Constitutional Rights and other human rights groups in Germany under that country's universal jurisdiction law."--BOOK JACKET.
