Fodor's Pocket Shanghai, 1st Edition

The Story

"Here is a searing and moving story from the other side of America's war on terror. A second-generation British Muslim born and raised in Birmingham, Moazzam Begg was seized at midnight from a family home in Pakistan in 2002. He was accused by the United States of being a terrorist - an "enemy combatant" - and held for more than three years, two of them at America's notorious prison at Guantanamo Bay. Enemy Combatant is Begg's eloquent, personal story of his imprisonment and detention - the first account by a Guantanamo detainee of life inside the infamous prison." "And what an unforgettable account it is. Begg spent much of this time in solitary confinement, was subjected to over three hundred interrogations, and witnessed the killing of two detainees before being released in 2005 without explanation or apology. This amazing view from within the prisoner's hood puts the United States' extralegal detention system in the sharpest possible relief."--BOOK JACKET.
