The acclaimed national bestseller, the first and only diary written by a Guantánamo detainee during his imprisonment, now with previously censored material restored. When GUANTÁNAMO DIARY was first published--heavily redacted by the U.S. government--in 2015, Mohamedou Ould Slahi was still imprisoned at the detainee camp in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, despite a federal court ruling ordering his release, and it was unclear when or if he would ever see freedom. In October 2016, he was finally released and reunited with his family. During his 14-year imprisonment, the United States never charged him with a crime. Now for the first time, he is able to tell his story in full, with previously censored material restored. This searing diary is not merely a vivid record of a miscarriage of justice, but a deeply personal memoir---terrifying, darkly humorous, and surprisingly gracious. GUANTÁNAMO DIARY is a document of immense emotional power and historical importance.

Soon after the September 11 attacks in 2001, the United States captured hundreds of suspected al-Qaeda terrorists in Afghanistan and around the world. By the following January the first of these prisoners arrived at the U.S. military's prison camp in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where they were subject to President George W. Bush's executive order authorizing their trial by military commissions. Jess Bravin, the "Wall Street Journal"'s Supreme Court correspondent, was there within days of the prison's opening, and has continued ever since to cover the U.S. effort to create a parallel justice system for enemy aliens. A maze of legal, political, and moral issues has stood in the way of justice--issues often raised by military prosecutors who found themselves torn between duty to the chain of command and their commitment to fundamental American values.While much has been written about Guantanamo and brutal detention practices following 9/11, Bravin is the first to go inside the Pentagon's prosecution team to expose the real-world legal consequences of those policies. Bravin describes cases undermined by inadmissible evidence obtained through torture, clashes between military lawyers and administration appointees, and political interference in criminal prosecutions that would be shocking within the traditional civilian and military justice systems. With the Obama administration planning to try the alleged 9/11 conspirators at Guantanamo--and vindicate the legal experiment the Bush administration could barely get off the ground--"The Terror Courts" could not be more timely.

Now he is able to tell his story in full, with previously censored material restored.

Mohamedou Ould Slahi tak pernah menyangka, bahkan tidak dalam mimpi terburuknya, bahwa sore itu ialah kali terakhir dia menjejakkan kaki sebagai manusia bebas. Dia datang ke markas kepolisian Mauritania dengan niat baik: memenuhi panggilan untuk dimintai keterangan. Namun, dia malah ditahan tanpa tuduhan yang jelas. Dia juga harus menjalani rangkaian interogasi, pemerasan informasi, dan penyiksaan. Dia dilarang shalat dan puasa, bahkan dipaksa melakukan hal-hal yang diharamkan ajaran Islam. Lama ibu Slahi mengira anaknya ditahan di Mauritania. Keluarganya mengirimkan pakaian dan makanan, bahkan memberi uang kepada penjaga penjara untuk perawatannya. Hingga suatu hari, adik Slahi mengetahui nama sang kakak ada dalam daftar tahanan di Guantánamo—sebuah penjara kebal hukum yang didirikan murni karena paranoia Amerika Serikat terhadap terorisme. Kini, sudah lebih dari empat belas tahun Slahi ditahan tanpa diadili. Bahkan ibunya pun meninggal dalam kesedihan menunggu pembebasannya. Buku ini disunting dari 466 halaman tulisan tangan Slahi yang dibuatnya dalam sel yang sampai saat ini masih dihuninya. Amerika Serikat menyensornya dengan ketat sebelum catatan tersebut berhasil diperjuangkan selama tujuh tahun untuk diterbitkan. Itu sebabnya akan dijumpai lebih dari 2.500 coretan stabilo hitam di dalam buku ini. Namun, bahkan sensor pun tak mampu menutupi kejernihan dan ketajaman penuturan Slahi.

Mahvish Khan is an American lawyer, born to immigrant Afghan parents in Michigan. Outraged that her country was illegally imprisoning people at Guantanamo, she volunteered to translate for the prisoners. She spoke their language, understood their customs, and brought them Starbucks chai, the closest available drink to the kind of tea they would drink at home. And they quickly befriended her, offering fatherly advice as well as a uniquely personal insight into their plight, and that of their families thousands of miles away. For Mahvish Khan the experience was a validation of her Afghan heritage - as well as her American freedoms, which allowed her to intervene at Guantanamo purely out of her sense that it was the right thing to do. Mahvish Khan's story is a challenging, brave, and essential test of who she is - and who we are.
