review 1: Fast read that will have you wanting to read more. The stories are interesting and lead you to want to hear the other side of the Guantanamo story. It is a very personal story that makes you see the inhumanity of man from one angle - an American women of Afghan parents. The book made me ask many more questions than I have answers. A must read for anyone that wants to understand Afghanistan and Guantanamo Bay.
review 2: Opening the doors to hell, a man-made hell, a place that no demon imagined, but we humans made it possible. Throughout the book, nightmares did haunt me, while my emotions swung between disbelief, anger and fear. How can the whole world overlook such a merciless reality: the military detention camp at Guantanamo Bay!It doesn’t really matter... more if they are innocent or guilty, if they are charged or not, but it is all that torture and humiliation that the detainees have to go through every minute they manage to stay alive and fight for their sanity.All of those people are so real, and not just names or numbers passing by, and their pictures almost make you cry. However, though the writer believed that none of the Afghans she met were guilty, yet there was always a shadow of doubt, facts that were not disclosed and stories unsaid.The brutal truth of the dark side of the so called justice, where no justice prevails. less
