Review - Guantanamo Voices by Sarah Mirk

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you to Netgalley and Abrams Books for providing me with a proof of this non fiction graphic novel, which was an absolute 5 star read.

Drawn from the author's interviews with a variety of different people involved with Guantanamo Bay, including former prisoners, legal representatives, military personnel and others, these narratives then were story boarded and illustrated into graphic novel form by a number of different artists. This amazing book was frequently touching and horrifying, making me cry more than once during it's 200 pages.

Describing itself as 'an antidote to forgetting', Guantanamo Voices is such an important read; reminding us that, although it is no longer reported in the mainstream media, the detentions continue, indefinitely. Even now, the sheer immorality of the camp's legal position should be more widely known.

Highly, highly recommended.

Guantanamo Voices is available now from all good bookshops, from Bookshop.Org here and from Amazon here.
