  Publication Date: January 11,

  Mahvish Khan is the only Afghan-American to walk into Guantanamo of her own accord. This unique book is her
story, and the story of the men she grew to know uniquely well inside the cages of Guantanamo. Mahvish Khan is an
American lawyer, born to immigrant Afghan parents. She was outraged that her country, the USA, seemed to have suspended
its tradition of equality for all under the law with regard to those imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba, and so she
volunteered to translate for the lawyers - including British lawyer and founder of Reprieve Clive Stafford Smith -
acting pro bono for the prisoners. Because 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, 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 at home. Some at Guantanamo are terrorists who deserve to be convicted and sentenced as such. Some are
paediatricians and school teachers. We cannot tell the difference until we see them as individuals with their own unique
stories. They deserve that much. No other writer has had access to the detainees. This book is a testament to their
captivity. It documents the voices of men who have been tortured and held in a black hole of indefinite detention
without legal recourse for years. It shows who they are and also allows readers to see that these men are more similar
to us than they are different.
  
  From Publishers Weekly
  Starred Review. In her moving debut memoir,
a young journalist recounts her time as a translator for the detainees of notorious Guantánamo Bay prison. As a law
student and American-born daughter of Pashtun (ethnic Afghan) immigrants, Khan seeks a translator position at one of the
private law firms that represent the Guantanamo inmates, some of whom spend years in prison before offered a "fair"
trial-or even access to counsel. Shockingly, many of the detainees Khan encounters are average citizens placed in prison
due to unfortunate circumstances, the blind aggression of modern anti-terror tactics and the incompetence of its
enforcers; one detainee, elderly stroke patient Nusrat, was detained after questioning the authorities regarding the
arrest of his son (accused of having ties with al-Qaeda). Revealing near-universal abuse, both mental and physical,
inflicted on the prisoners, Khan's account is plenty powerful-and that's before she travels alone to war-torn
Afghanistan in order to prove her clients' innocence. Khan also divulges her poignant reunions with several prisoners
following their release, a bittersweet breath of fresh air amid a nightmarish, eye-opening and important account.

From Booklist
  Khan, the daughter of Afghan immigrants and a recent law-school graduate, began volunteering as an
interpreter for the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) following the 2004 Supreme Court decision stating that
Guantánamo prisoners had to be allowed access to U.S. courts. She first visited the base in January 2006 and met
prisoners with widely diverse backgrounds, from a 22-year-old picked up in Pakistan, probably by bounty hunters, and
turned over to U.S. forces to detainee #1009, Guantánamo’s oldest prisoner, an illiterate old man from the
mountains of Afghanistan. Acknowledging that she had no access to the 14 high value detainees with obvious ties to the
Taliban, Khan interviews many whose incarceration appears dubious at best. Each has a story of being savagely beaten,
deprived of sleep, sexually abused, left in solitary confinement for months, exposed to extreme cold and constant
noise—all with no opportunity to prove their innocence. Stunning details all but hidden from the daily news
reports may bring American readers to conclude, as has Khan, that my government has duped me. --Deborah Donovan
