false 2958875 1 Who exactly has America detained all these years at Guantanamo? The Worst of the Worst? Or the Wretched of the Earth? <P> Mahvish Khan is an American lawyer, born to immigrant Afghan parents in Michigan. Outraged that her country was illegally imprisoning people at Guantanamo, she volunteered to translate for the prisoners. She spoke their language, understood their customs, and brought them Starbucks chai, the closest available drink to the kind of tea they would drink at home. And they quickly befriended her, offering fatherly advice as well as a uniquely personal insight into their plight, and that of their families thousands of miles away. <P> For Mahvish Khan the experience was a validation of her Afghan heritage--as well as her American freedoms, which allowed her to intervene at Guantanamo purely out of her sense that it was the right thing to do. Mahvish Khan's story is a challenging, brave, and essential test of who she is--and who we are. 2988382 23 6 2008 My Guantanamo Diary: The Detainees and the Stories They Told Me total:81|5:24|4:37|3:16|2:3|1:1| 81 323 189 29 3 1 false false Fri Oct 03 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 02 04:52:05 -0700 2008 Fri Oct 03 06:03:23 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Thu Jul 30 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 21 23:30:44 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 30 17:45:13 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Mon Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Feb 03 11:59:57 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 03 12:09:29 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Thu Jun 11 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 11 14:39:44 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 11 14:48:01 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Mon Dec 15 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Dec 09 09:31:50 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 15 16:43:50 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sun Mar 15 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 15 10:21:22 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 15 10:26:16 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri Sep 25 07:17:26 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 25 07:21:16 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sat Oct 11 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Sep 24 18:02:24 -0700 2008 Mon Oct 13 07:33:50 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Aug 04 18:07:31 -0700 2008 Mon Jul 28 04:12:36 -0700 2008 Mon Aug 04 18:07:31 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sat Jan 31 10:45:36 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 31 10:49:21 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Nov 18 03:31:48 -0800 2008 Tue Nov 18 03:35:44 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri Jul 31 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 31 08:41:03 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 31 08:41:03 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Dec 03 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 15 10:02:35 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 15 10:07:18 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Wed May 27 07:49:45 -0700 2009 Wed May 27 07:51:24 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Mon Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Jan 12 20:23:38 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 12 20:24:20 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Mon Jan 19 17:06:10 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 19 17:06:31 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Sun Nov 02 23:25:54 -0800 2008 Sun Nov 02 23:26:06 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Oct 06 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Oct 06 17:27:56 -0700 2008 Mon Oct 06 17:31:25 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Thu Aug 07 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Jul 27 08:34:20 -0700 2008 Sat Aug 16 14:20:25 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Apr 13 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 09 14:41:04 -0700 2009 Mon May 11 04:47:35 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=2958875
