Summary
In 2002 a fifteen-year-old Canadian citizen, Omar Khadr, was captured in Afghanistan for allegedly killing an American soldier, later ending up in Guantánamo Bay detention camp. Some Canadians see Khadr as a symbol of terrorism in action; the book’s contributors… see him as the victim of a jihadist father and Canadian complicity in the unjust excesses of the US war on terror. They analyze Khadr's background, his incarceration, the actions of Canadian authorities, and the implications raised by his legal case. Includes violence. 2012.
