Another good book

Mar 11, 2006 22:32

I just finished James Yee's book For God and Country: Faith and Patriotism Under Fire. Yee was the Muslim champlain at Guantanamo and tells what it was like working at Gitmo and the story of his arrest and time in solitary confinement for basically no reason aside from the fact that he was Muslim. In short, I knew these things had to be going on. But I didn't realize how bad or outrageous they were until I read this. The book is also very well-written and does a good job showing the personal side of what is happening. I highly recommend it. If you're interested, Yee was on Democracy Now! to talk about the book a while ago: http://www.democracynow.org/article.pl?sid=05/10/06/1316240&mode=thread&tid=25
