"Guantánamo: an inmate's view
A Swiftian tale

Jun 7th 2007
From The Economist print edition

MURAT KURNAZ liked to keep himself fit and worked as a bouncer at discos in Bremen, north Germany. That probably helped him survive five years of humiliation, sleep deprivation and physical abuse in Guantánamo Bay. How this German-born Turk ended up there at the age of 19, becoming an embarrassment for the Turkish and German governments, is the story of this book told by himself (so far only in German) with the help of a co-author."
