Guantanamo Diary Author:Mohamedou Ould Slahi [Read by Peter Ganim] — An unprecedented international publishing event: the first and only diary written by a still-imprisoned Guantánamo detainee. — Since 2002 Mohamedou Slahi has been imprisoned at the detainee camp at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. In all these years, the United States has never charged him with a crime. Although his release was ordere... more »d by a federal judge, the US government fought that decision, and there is no sign that the United States plans to let him go.
Three years into his captivity, Slahi began a diary, recounting his life before he disappeared into US custody and daily life as a detainee. His diary is not merely a vivid record of a miscarriage of justice, but a deeply personal memoir - terrifying, darkly humorous, and surprisingly gracious. Published now for the first time, Guantánamo Diary is a document of immense historical importance.« less
