About the Book:

Enemy Combatant is a shocking and poignant firsthand account of one man’s years inside the notorious American prison at Guantánamo Bay and his Kafkaesque struggle to clear his name. Written by Moazzam Begg, a second-generation British Muslim who was detained by the U.S. military for over three years before being released without charge in January 2005, this memoir is the first published account by a Guantánamo detainee of life inside the infamous prison.

With vivid and compelling writing, Begg takes readers through his emotional journey, exposing the brutal conditions and psychological toll of indefinite detention without trial. His memoir provides ideological counterweight to the one-sided narrative promoted by the U.S. government, reminding readers that the detainees are not faceless enemies but human beings with intellectual pursuits, emotional attachments, and fully developed humanity.

As a forcefully told and politically charged story, Enemy Combatant is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the human cost of the War on Terror, shedding light on the complex realities of the U.S. military's detention system. It has been described as necessary reading for all sides of the debate, offering insights into one of the most controversial aspects of post-9/11 geopolitics.
