Summary:
"This moving, eye-opening memoir of an innocent man detained at
Guantánamo
Bay for fifteen years tells a story of humanity in the unlikeliest of places and an unprecedented look at life at
Guantánamo
. At the age of 18, Mansoor Adayfi left his home in Yemen for a cultural mission to Afghanistan. He never returned. Kidnapped by warlords and then sold to the
US
after 9/11, he was disappeared to
Guantánamo
Bay, where he spent the next 14 years as Detainee #441. 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
Guantánamo
, 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. 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
Guantánamo
's story, offering an unprecedented window into one of the most secretive places on earth and the people -- detainees and guards alike -- who lived there with him. Twenty years after 9/11,
Guantánamo
remains open, and at a moment of due reckoning, Mansoor Adayfi helps
us
understand what actually happened there -- both the horror and the beauty -- a stunning record of an experience we cannot afford to
forget
