    Default BOOK: GUANTANAMO DIARY by Mohamedou Ould Salahi

    https://issuu.com/canongatebooks/doc...63753/13005384


    After fourteen years of being held in Guantánamo without charge or trial, Mohamedou Ould Slahi has been released and reunited with his family in Mauritiania . Read more
    Slahi’s book, the first and only memoir by a still-imprisoned Guantánamo detainee, was published in January 2015 — with numerous redactions — from a 466-page handwritten manuscript. It was an international bestseller and has since been translated into multiple languages for publication in more than 25 countries

    Guantanamo Diary is a best-selling memoir, released in 2015. It was originally written by Mohamedou Ould Salahi, whom the United States held, without charge, for fourteen years. Salahi was one of the few individuals held in Guantanamo whom US officials acknowledged had been tortured.
    Editor Larry Siems edited the book based on a manuscript from Salahi that his lawyers brought to Siems. Each page had to be submitted to military censors.
    The memoir was published while Salahi was still being held, without charge.
    Many reviewers were surprised at how lacking in bitterness Salahi was since he had no ties to terrorism, and had been subjected to brutal torture.
    Movie producers bought an option on the rights to make a movie from the memoirs in June 2015.
    In 2017, the book was republished with the redactions restored.

    Government and politics breed merciless barbarians.
    Government employees do as the masters tell them. Soldiers, Police, prison wardens, traffic police and all related slaves.

    You might want to read "Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland" by Christopher R. Browning. Might give you a better understanding on why it happens.
