Description: "On any given day, over 20,000 men, women, and children languish in indefinite detention in the United States. In Iraq, Afghanistan, and Guantanamo Bay, thousands more are imprisoned or shipped to other countries where the rules for interrogation permit greater amounts of coercion and violence. These are America's disappeared. This book contains their voices, and the voices of those who fight for their rights as human beings."--Jacket.
