Guantanamo

En route, he befriends a young Afghan, and continues his journey to Peshawar where he finds himself in an anti-American demonstration. He is arrested, handed over to U.S. troops, and taken to Guantanamo." "Characterized as "one of the best, if not the best German novels since the dawn of the new millennium," by the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Guantanamo is a modern prison novel in the classic style, an implicit indictment of the Guantanamo gulag, and a novel of fierce moral and descriptive clarity."--BOOK JACKET.Dieckmann, Dorothea is the author of 'Guantanamo ', published 2007 under ISBN 9781933368542 and ISBN 1933368543.
