This profound and disturbing (New York Times Book Review) bestseller written by a Guantnamo prisoner is a major feature film starring Tahar Rahim and Jodie Foster.
When The Mauritanian was first published as Guantnamo Diary in 2015heavily redacted by the U.S. governmentMohamedou Ould Slahi was still imprisoned at the detainee camp in Guantnamo Bay, Cuba, despite a federal court ruling ordering his release, and it was unclear when or if he would ever see freedom. In October 2016 he was finally released and reunited with his family.
During his fourteen-year imprisonment the United States never charged him with a crime.
Now he is able to tell his story in full, with previously censored material restored. This searing diary is not merely a vivid record of a miscarriage of justice, but a deeply personal memoirterrifying, darkly humorous, and surprisingly gracious. The Mauritanian is a document of immense emotional power and historical importance.
