An unprecedented international publishing event: the first and only diary written by a still-imprisoned Guantnamo detainee.

Since 2002, Mohamedou Slahi has been imprisoned at the detention camp at Guantnamo Bay, Cuba. In all these years, the United States has never charged him with a crime. A federal judge ordered his release in March 2010, but 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, "his endless world tour" of imprisonment and interrogation, and his daily life as a Guantnamo prisoner. 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, GUANTNAMO DIARY is a document of immense historical importance and a riveting and profoundly revealing read.
