Guantánamo Diary: Restored Edition by Mohamedou Ould Slahi
5.0
There is much to be said about this book, beginning with the simple fact that is even having a chance to read about Slahi’s experience in the first place is nothing short of a miracle, let alone the brutal torture he suffered at the hands of the US government.
This is required reading for anyone interested in foreign policy and the insanity that 9/11 sparked in American government and the US public. The US kidnapped hundreds of Muslim foreign nationals from their own countries, imprisoned them, and tortured them all with out being charged with any crime.
It’s a tragedy and one that we’ll have to own up to eventually. In the meantime, I can’t recommend this book enough. Please read MOS’s harrowing story.
