I have purchased this book in an event organised by cageprisoners and Andy was there he even was kind to sign my book. The book provides detailed count of the suffering of the detainees in America's illegal Prison. Andy is great expert in this field and took a greater depth and effort to illustrate to us at least if not all the facts; most of the facts.

Incredible book about the detainment of Arabs and Arab looking men during the war on terror. A must read for anyone interested in the back workings of the war on terror.

Horrifying. Makes me ashamed to be an American and afraid of the consequences we're all going to have to live with for generations.

In parts agonizingly unreadable. You get a blizzard of Arabic names, and you move back and forth between dozens of unrelated stories.

It does a far better job of characterizing the abuse than Thomas Ricks' book Fiasco (though Fiasco talks about Abu Graihb and TGF talks about Guantanamo.)
