Description
A searing memoir of humanity in one of the world's most notorious prisons. Don't Forget Us Here tells two coming-of-age stories in parallel: a makeshift island outpost and an innocent young man emerging from its darkness. Mansoor Adayfi, Detainee #441, survived 14 years at Guantánamo Bay, where he was subjected to interrogation and became a hardened resistance fighter. Yet, with time, he grew into the man nicknamed "Smiley Troublemaker": a student, writer, advocate, and historian. Through his story, Mansoor unwinds a narrative of fighting for hope and survival in unimaginable circumstances, illuminating the limitlessness of the human spirit. This chronicle, written in collaboration with Antonio Aiello, offers an unprecedented window into life at Guantánamo Bay and its inhabitants - detainees and guards alike.
