For God and Country
- Synopsis
-
Serving as the Muslim Chaplain of Guantanamo Bay, the US military base that houses the "enemy combatants" of George W. Bush's "war on terror," US Captain James Yee was to find himself at the center of prejudiced suspicions that was eventually to lead to unfounded charges of espionage and terrorism. In this memoir, Yee describes that path that took him from West Point to Guantanamo Bay and recounts his experiences as the Chaplain and, eventually, as a detainee in the "war on terror" himself. In addition to the inherent interest of the story, his memoir is also of importance because it corroborates many of the charges of abuse and religious bigotry that much of the media has dismissed because they were only coming from the detainees or their lawyers.
