Pressestimmen
"A longtime captive has written the most profound and disturbing account yet of what it's like to be collateral damage in the war against terror."―Mark Danner, NYTBR, & Editors' Choice"Slahi is a fluent, engaging and at times eloquent writer, even in his fourth language, English....Slahi's book offers a first-person account of the experience of torture. For that reason alone, the book is necessary reading for those seeking to understand the dangers that Guantánamo's continued existence poses to Americans in the world."―Deborah Pearlstein, Washington Post"A riveting new book has emerged from one of the most contentious places in the world, and the U.S. government doesn't want you to read it....You don't have to be convinced of Slahi's innocence to be appalled by the incidents he describes."―Kevin Canfield, San Francisco Chronicle"Guantánamo Diary will leave you shell-shocked."―Vanity Fair"Slahi emerges from the pages of his diary...as a curious and generous personality, observant, witty and devout, but by no means fanatical....Guantánamo Diary forces us to consider why the United States has set aside the cherished idea that a timely trial is the best way to determine who deserves to be in prison.―Scott Shane, New York Times"An historical watershed and a literary triumph....The diary is as close as most of us will ever get to understanding the living hell this man--who has never been charged with a crime, and whom a judge ordered released in 2010--continues to suffer."―Elias Isquith, Salon"Everyone should read Guantánamo Diary....Just by virtue of having been written inside Guantánamo, Slahi's book would be a triumph of humanity over chaos. But Guantánamo Diary turns out to be especially human. Slahi doesn't just humanize himself; he also humanizes his guards and interrogators. That's not to say that he excuses them. Just the opposite: he presents them as complex individuals who know kindness from cruelty and right from wrong."―Joshua Rothman, The New Yorker"The tragedy of Slahi's memoir is not just his grave abuse at the hands of U.S. officials. It is that....Slahi's account of life--if it can be called that--at Guantánamo is not the exception. It is the rule, and it continues today."―Alka Pradhan, Reuters"Guantánamo Diary stands as perhaps the most human depiction of an entire post-9/11 system."―Omar El Akkad, Globe and Mail"Literary history was made today with the publication of the first-ever book by a still-imprisoned Guantánamo detainee....As astonishing as the scope of the abuse is Slahi's enduring warmth, even for his torturers and jailers."―Noa Yachot, Huffington Post

Mohamedou Slahi was born in a small town in Mauritania in 1970. He won a scholarship to attend college in Germany and worked there for several years as an engineer. He returned to Mauritania in 2000. The following year, at the behest of the United States, he was detained by Mauritanian authorities and rendered to a prison in Jordan; later he was rendered again, first to Bagram Air Force Base in Afghanistan, and finally, on August 5, 2002, to the U.S. prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, where he was subjected to severe torture. He was cleared and released on October 16th of 2016 and repatriated to his native country of Mauritania. No charges were filed against him during or after this ordeal.Larry Siems is a writer and human rights activist and for many years directed the Freedom to Write program at PEN American Center. He is the author, most recently, of The Torture Report: What the Documents Say About America's Post-9/11 Torture Program. He lives in New York.

The handwritten diary of detainee 760 still in captivity at Guantanamo Bay without charges, written in English learned from his interrogators and guards, released with 2,500 black line redactions by the government.A clearsighted account of one man's dreadful journey from his mothers home, through secret renditions, black sites, beatings, and horrifying interrogation methods that will yield "results" deep into the American Heart of Darkness.What will American agents do when ordered to crush the spirit and get a confession out of a subject. How can someone survive with their soul intact?
Eine wirklich starke Leistung, man kann kaum glauben, das der Autor so verständnisvoll und tolerant bleibt, bedenkt man, wie er behandelt wurde.
Ich bin auf dieses Buch über die Audioausschnitte der BBC aufmerksam geworden.Ein wichtiges Zeitdokument, liest sich sehr schnell, auch wenn es mit der Zensierung nicht so einfach ist.
erschütternde einzelheiten über die westliche,christliche tolleranz gegenüber dem was im namen der westlichen welt geschieht.die quittung werden christliche kirchen und demokratien mit sicherheit von der weltbevölkerung noch präsentiert bekommen.
If you want to know how low the USA has fallen since 9/11 , rather than pretending that the USA is still some kind of moral leader in the world, this book will make it clear –assuming you have any sense of moral decency at all.The best thing about this book is the author himself, who manages to have the fortitude and character to have risen above all the torture, terror, and misery he was put through by the USA in the name of "the War on Terror". Unlike those who authorized and executed his brutal abuse, he harbors no ill will toward anyone.That is a miracle.
Whatever your political views may be, you should check out this account of this man's experience to understand the power and reach of governments when faced with terrorism and suspects who have ties to people who have committed or plotted acts of terror. The whole "innocent until proven guilty" thing does not apply to these individuals--you should read this to follow the course of what a suspected terrorist (whether guilty or innocent) goes through.
If you are interested in what can happen to a "good Muslim" caught up in the web of US war against terrorism in its early excesses, this is the account you want to read. Mr. Slahi's story is gripping, His description of the various methods of torture he endured is enough to cause spasms in your own back and abdomen as you read. I came away feeling that there has be much hidden from the public regarding the inhumane treatment those incarcerated in the years following 9/11. The only down side to this "diary" is the extreme amount of redaction found throughout the text. If you happened to catch the 60 Minutes piece several weeks ago, this text really fills out the story. Amazing that this gentle man does not direct intense hatred toward the American people in general.
I am probably the least likely person to write a review for this book. But after listening to the editor/author, Larry Siems, on NPR, I knew I had to read it. I am not a highly political person. I am not great with history. I don't understand all the nuances of the military. I also understand that there are people, foreigners, who would love nothing better than to blow up our country and wouldn't feel any remorse. However, the story of Mohamedou is so outlandish that it is hard to believe that we, as Americans, would be okay with this kind of treatment. Let's just say that one of our citizens was held captive (and I'm not naive enough to think that it doesn't still happen) under these conditions in another country for 13+ years, we would be up in arms. The injustice of it all would be all over the news. We are a better country than that. We are morally sensitive on so many issues that it is hard to believe we stoop so low in this regard. So why are we allowed to treat a prisoner this way? Primarily, I am so upset that he has never been charged. That there has been no obvious evidence all this time that actually links him to a terrorist activity. He was pulled from his family and has been brutally and unjustly treated for years.Again, I am not so naive that I don't think torture is going on for the sake of garnering information to protect our citizens. Some is expected and we tend to look the other way, the same way that we don't want to know about how our animals are slaughtered for consumption. I don't necessarily agree with it and it goes against the Geneva Convention Relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of war. As quoted in the introduction, "Prisoners must at all times be humanly treated. Any unlawful act or omission by the Detaining Power causing death or seriously endangering the health of a prisoner of war in custody will be prohibited, and will be regarded as a serious breach of the present Convention..."The Geneva Convention is violated almost daily with Mohamedou and many of his fellow prisoners. While I can't comment on the innocence of the others since they are not sharing their story, I can say that Mohamedou was granted a release by a federal judge 5 years ago and has yet to be released or even charged with a crime.So getting on to the story. Larry Siems has written a nice introduction. He has tried very hard to organize the information so that we have as much history and detail as possible. Mohamedou has also done a wonderful job of recounting the events of his life, sometimes in gruesome but not gratuitous detail. But the story is redacted, sometimes for three pages at a time, which makes for some stilted reading. Additionally, it jumps around in the timeline. After reading for a bit, it does get a little easier to stay on top of it but the redactions can be really frustrating at times.Mohamedou has a wonderful way of looking at things. He is a prisoner for no apparent reason. He is beaten, subjected to extreme temperatures, restraints,deprivation, seclusion and extreme isolation, interrogated for days, months, and years, and had other atrocities beyond imagination. But he looks for the positive things in his days. Being forced to sit blindfolded next to another prisoner which was comforting just because he was touching another human being. The occasional guard or interrogator with a bit more of a conscience, ones who treat him with a little more respect and humanity. The ability to have a conversation with anyone. He is, by his account, a decent, intelligent man who was just trying to live a normal life when he was suspected of being involved in the Millennium Plot.This is a hard read at times but Mohamedou presents it in such a way that he does not glorify or exaggerate. It is worth a read for us to open our eyes to the horrors of Guantanamo and probably many other prisons, including some housing Americans, under our care. We should be ashamed of the treatment of Mohamedou.
I ordered the redacted edition years ago. I have removed it and re-purchased the "Restored Edition" and downloaded it to my various Kindle devices. In each case I only get the original redacted edition, with no explanation or apparent remedy. I wish there were a way to bring this issue to Amazon's attention without rating the Diary itself, which reveals an extraordinary Godly man who follows the teachings of the Prophets Muhammad (can recite the Koran from memory) and Jesus Christ and, like our fellow semites of Israel, does not claim to know that Jesus is any more divine than you or I or Muhammad.
