description: 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 Guantanamo 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.
