Overview
This moving, eye-opening memoir of an innocent man detained at GuantƔnamo Bay for fifteen years tells a story of humanity in the unlikeliest of places and an unprecedented look at life at GuantƔnamo.
Don't Forget Us Here tells two coming-of-age stories in parallel: a makeshift island outpost becoming the world's most notorious prison and an innocent young man emerging from its darkness. Arriving as a stubborn teenager, Mansoor survived the camp's infamous interrogation program and became a feared and hardened resistance fighter leading prison riots and hunger strikes. With time though, he grew into the man nicknamed "Smiley Troublemaker": a student, writer, advocate, and historian. While at GuantĆ”namo, he wrote a series of manuscripts he sent as letters to his attorneys, which he then transformed into this vital chronicle, in collaboration with award-winning writer Antonio Aiello.Ā With unexpected warmth and empathy, Mansoor unwinds a narrative of fighting for hope and survival in unimaginable circumstances, illuminating the limitlessness of the human spirit. And through his own story, he also tells GuantĆ”namo's story, offering an unprecedented window into one of the most secretive places on earth and the peopleādetainees and guards alikeāwho lived there with him.
