The Mauritanian. Particularly Dangerous. Absolutely Innocent?

Guantanamo prison is the most guarded place on Earth. It is a camp for individuals accused by the U.S. authorities of various serious crimes, a place distinguished by special conditions of detention, and in the past, a true laboratory of torture. All prisoners here are in solitary confinement, and there are no more than 50 inmates. The prison is guarded by 2000 military personnel.

The book you are holding is the first work in history written by a Guantanamo inmate. Mohamedou Ould Slahi served a 14-year sentence, during which he wrote his prison notes about a place that is known practically nothing about.
