Guantánamo Diary: Restored Edition

Mohamedou Ould Slahi (Larry Siems)
Goodreads  
Back Bay Books • 2017

An unprecedented international publishing event: the first and only diary written by a still-imprisoned Guantanamo detainee. Since 2002, Mohamedou Slahi has been imprisoned at the detainee camp at Gua...ntanamo Bay, Cuba. In all these years, the United States has never charged him with a crime. Although he was ordered released by a federal judge, the U.S. 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 U.S. 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, Guantanamo Diary is a document of immense historical importance.

Ste obrovský muž. Nikto si vás nemôže pomýliť s maličkým zrnkom, - upokojoval ho lekár.- Pán doktor, ja to viem, ale[...]
