Guantánamo Diary by

Mohamedou Ould Slahi

Reviews

"The work is a kind of dark masterpiece, a sometimes unbearable epic of pain, anguish and bitter humour."

New York Times

Summary

The first and only diary written by a Guantánamo detainee during his imprisonment, now with previous censored material restored.

Mohamedou Ould Slahi was imprisoned in Guantánamo Bay in 2002. There he suffered the worst of what the prison had to offer, including months of sensory deprivation, torture and sexual assault. In October 2016 he was released without charge.

Now a major motion picture called The Mauritanian.

“To a man born without conscience, a soul-stricken man must seem ridiculous. To a criminal, honesty is foolish. You must not forget that a monster is only a variation, and that to a monster the norm is monstrous.”
