In 2005, Mohamedou Ould Slahi wrote a 466-page, 122,000 word diary describing his detention in Guantánomo. He remains imprisoned there today. Amazingly, in 2012, his lawyers succeeded in declassifying the document. His Guantánomo Diary is now available in bookstores.

For more on how the diary came to be published, The Guardian‘s “Guantánamo Diary: How a classified, handwritten manuscript became an extraordinary book”

The Guantánomo Diary houses a rich archive of materials:

• a partially animated documentary explaining Mohamedou Ould Slahi’s case.
• a link to the entire handwritten manuscript, including redactions
• a series of audio recordings of celebrities reading from the text.
