An eye opening and informative book. Written on comic book form, this books gives insight to the people who are involved in Guantanamo, from the prisoners to lawyers, and others in between. I learned a lot, and found myself doing further research from what I found out. The facts are all well sourced and although this book is clearly about the injustice of the prison, it does a great job of staying facts without political bias, because this prison is not a political problem, but a human one.

Normally I can rate non fiction graphic novels but rating this makes me extremely uncomfortable because GITMO is still around today.
