Erik Saar talk about the book Inside the Wire: A Military Intelligence Soldier’s Eyewitness Account of Life at Guantanamo, published by Penguin Press. Erik R. Saar served as an army sergeant with the U.S. military in the Detainee Camp at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba for six months from December 2002 to June 2003, working to support the intelligence and interrogation operations. The book chronicles his eyewitness account of prisoner abuse at Guantanamo Bay’s Camp Delta. Mr. Saar talks about his decision to volunteer to go to Guantanamo Bay, the expectations he had upon arriving, and his eventual conclusion that the prison camp violated his understanding of American values. He also answered questions from the audience. close
