Andy Worthington has published what’s been described as the most definitive annotated list of all Guantanamo detainees, and he has told the world their stories.
"The Guantánamo Files is a meticulous piece of documentation about torture at the beginning of the twenty-first century. In this bracing book, Andy Worthington chronicles the ordeals of the prisoners at Guantánamo with the same sense of poignancy, compassion and outrage with which Goya, in the nineteenth century, painted ‘The Third of May 1808,’ and Picasso, in the twentieth century, painted ‘Guernica.’ This is an extremely vital and important piece of work."
— Martin Fisher, Co-Producer of Alex Gibney’s film, ‘Taxi to the Dark Side,’ about US torture in Afghanistan, Guantánamo and Iraq
"The Guantánamo Files is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand how Guantánamo came to be the torture chamber of the United States…"
— Candace Gorman, lawyer for 2 Guantanamo prisoners
In January 2010, Worthington also published the first annotated list of Bagram detainees.
