There is a new book called Eight O’Clock Ferry to the Windward Side that the NYT has said, “the author does offer is a bracing opening statement from the defense team at Guantánamo, years overdue. We don’t have to believe every last claim he makes. It’s enough to be incensed that we are hearing some of it for the first time.”
That author is Clive Stafford Smith and the book will be published by Nations Books.
The book description states the following, “Human rights lawyer Clive Stafford Smith is one of the few people in the world who has had independent access to the prisoners at Guantanamo, representing more than fifty. Eight O'Clock Ferry to the Windward Side is his remarkable account of his descent into the darkly comic world of Guantanamo, a legal black hole in which the bleakness of the surroundings are punctuated by moments of humor and absurdity. From the absence of security at the airport, to the army protecting iguanas on the roads, Eight O'Clock Ferry to the Windward Side goes beyond the headlines to tell the true story of life at Guantanamo.”
