Then again, her life had always had its unexpected turns. In Justice at Guantanamo, Huskey tells the fascinating story of how she went from a childhood in Alaska to a civil war in Africa, the glitter (and grunge) of life in the Big Apple, backpacking overseas, and, finally, her true calling - law. Huskey was one of the first female lawyers to represent detainees of the Guantanamo Bay detention camp - including those in two cases that yielded a landmark Supreme Court decision allowing them to challenge their status in federal courts.
