520 1 $a"The American military base on the island of Diego Garcia is one of the most strategically important and secretive U.S. military installations outside the United States. Located near the remote center of the Indian Ocean and accessible only by military transport, the base was a little-known launch pad for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and may house a top-secret CIA prison where suspects are interrogated and tortured. But Garcia harbors another dirty secret, one that has been kept from most of the world - until now." "Island of Shame is the first major book to reveal the truth of how the United States conspired with Britain to forcibly expel Diego Garcia's indigenous people - the Chagossians - and deport them to slums in Mauritius and the Seychelles, where most live in dire poverty to this day. Drawing on interviews with Washington insiders, military strategists, and exiled islanders, as well as hundreds of declassified documents, David Vine exposes the secret history of Diego Garcia."--BOOK JACKET.
