 KPFA Radio 94.1FM  info: kpfa.org/events  \n\nYou're doing God's work with 
 this book..."  -Robert Scheer\n\n"Honigsberg combines his impressive 
 research with his persistent advocacy for detainees who clearly played no 
 role in the 9/11 attacks and who almost certainly never posed any threat to 
 American citizens. . . . A well-documented, hard-hitting, necessary 
 expose."    --Kirkus Reviews \n\nOn January 11th, 2002, the first planeload 
 of twenty detainees from Afghanistan arrived at the Guantanamo Bay Naval 
 Base in Cuba. Eventually 780 Muslim men were held at Guantanamo, many for 
 ten years or longer, and nearly all were never charged with a crime-a 
 violation of America's foundational belief in due process and the rule of 
 law. Forty men are still imprisoned at Guantanamo today; twenty-six of them 
 are considered "forever prisoners" who will likely die at Guantanamo, 
 having never been charged, tried, or convicted of any wrongdoing.  \n 
 \nNow, in A Place Outside the Law, Peter Jan Honigsberg, a professor at the 
 University of San Francisco School of Law and the founder and director of 
 the Witness to Guantanamo Project, offers the most comprehensive picture to 
 date of the lives that were deeply and often traumatically transformed by 
 Guantanamo.  From how alleged terrorists were captured in Afghanistan and 
 Pakistan and sold to the US to the Bush administration's use of  the term 
 "enemy combatant" to bypass the Geneva Conventions, Honigsberg details how 
 the law was broken in the name of protecting Americans-and how that 
 lawlessness was experienced by everyone who came into contact with 
 Guantanamo. \n\nPeter Jan Honigsberg is a professor at the University of 
 San Francisco School of Law and the founder and director of Witness to 
 Guantanamo.\n\n$12 advance, $15 door.\n
