1. Witnesses Of The Unseen
A searing personal memoir that chronicles the author’s arrest in post‑9/11 Europe, extraordinary rendition and years held at Guantánamo Bay without charge, the daily humiliations, abuse and solidarity among detainees, and the long legal fight that led to a landmark Supreme Court ruling recognizing detainees’ right to challenge their detention; the book combines wrenching firsthand detail with reflection on resilience, justice and the human cost of the “war on terror.”
