A revelatory and necessary survival memoir of five years of
illegal detainment and torture in Guantanamo Bay
On September 11, 2001, in a cafe in London, Ahmed Errachidi
watched as the twin towers collapsed. He was appalled by the loss
of innocent life. But he couldn't possibly have predicted how much
of his own life he too would lose because of that day. In a series
of terrible events, Ahmed was sold by the Pakistanis to the
Americans in the diplomatic lounge at Islamabad airport and spent
five and a half years in Guantanamo. There, he was beaten,
tortured, humiliated, and very nearly destroyed. But Ahmed did not
give in. This very ordinary, Moroccan-born London chef became a
leader of men. Known by the authorities as The General, he devised
protests and resistance by any means possible. As a result, he
spent most of his time in solitary confinement. But then, after all
those years, Ahmed was freed, his innocence admitted. This is
Ahmed's story. It will make readers rethink what it means to be in
the wrong place at the wrong time. It will also make readers look
anew at courage, survival, justice, and the War on Terror.
