This is the first book to tell the story of every man trapped in
Guantanamo. In early 2006, the Pentagon released 7000 pages of
transcripts from tribunals assessing the status of the 774 men
illegally detained in Guantanamo Bay. Journalist Andy Worthington
is the only person to have analyzed every page of these
transcripts. This book weaves together the story of the prison and
its inmates. For the first time, it brings to life the story of
every man trapped in Guantanamo. Who are these men and why do they
continue to be held without trial? This book goes at least some way
towards answering the questions that the US has so far refused to
engage with. It does not make for easy reading. Human rights abuses
are commonplace under a system that allows for the arrest of any
non-US citizen anywhere in the world. The book covers extensive
detail on how each detainee was arrested. It includes evidence of
mass killings of prisoners in Afghanistan, and people being picked
up in Pakistan by bounty hunters for $5000 a head. Many men were
clearly not enemy combatants. Some were involved in missionary
work. Some where just in the wrong place at the wrong time. The
book also includes extensive allegations of torture in US Afghan
prisons, as well as within Guantanamo itself. Who will speak for
the 774 men who still remain in Guantanamo? This passionate and
brilliantly detailed book brings their stories to the world for the
first time.
