HODNOTENIE: ***"Jedna ľudová rozprávka v Mauretánii hovorí o mužovi, ktorý mal obrovský strach z kohútov a vždy keď nejakého stretol, takmer zošalel.- Prečo sa tak strašne bojíte kohútov? - spýtal sa ho psychiater.- Každý kohút si myslí, že som zrno. -- Veď vy nie ste zrno.

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.
