Detainee 002: The Case of David Hicks
2 journalers for this copy...
Detainee 002 reveals in unprecedented detail how an Australian citizen wound up in the War on Terror.
Based on more than five years of reporting as the ABC’s Washington Correspondent, and dozens of interviews with insiders, Leigh Sales explains the intricacies of Hicks's case, from his capture in Afghanistan, to life in Guantanamo Bay, to the behind-the-scene establishment and workings of the military commissions.
David Hicks's case is emblematic of some of the greatest challenges facing the world today: the rise of Islamic extremism, terrorism and the accountability of governments towards their citizens. It is a chilling reminder that, in a war with ever-changing rules and no end in sight, there are no limits.

Left on a seat in the mall adjacent to Big W entrance. Hoping for a catch amongst the many shoppers there today.
Left this book at the shopping mall at Roxby Downs South Australia, hopefully someone will pick it up and help it on its way!
