Saving Grace at Guantanamo Bay
$16.50
Author, Montgomery, J. Granger’s experience in the combat, has naturally and vividly unfolded in front of my eyes with his unique writing style – simple, natural, easy-reading layout separated every incident with various famous quotes, among which, the quote on prologue page from ancient Chinese military strategy genius, Sun Tzu: “One hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the most skillful. Subduing the other’s military without battle is the most skillful.” I was sold, right there. And I rated this book as a 5-star memoir!
I always treat my books with respect – no one else could have touched them. So, my friends and family member all have to buy this engaging book by themselves. It is a very good idea of gifts! – Ahma
“Hard as it is to believe, one of the most significant stories of the post-9/11 age is also one of the least known—life at Gitmo, the detention facility for many of the world’s worst terrorists. Few individuals are more qualified to tell this story than Montgomery Granger, a citizen soldier, family man, dedicated educator, and Army Reserve medical officer involved in one of the most intriguing military missions of our time. Saving Grace at Guantanamo Bay is about that historic experience, and it relates not only what it was like for Granger to live and work at Gitmo, but about the sacrifices made by him and his fellow Reservists serving around the world.”
Andrew Carroll, editor of the New York Times bestsellers War Letters and Behind the Lines
Saving Grace at Guantanamo Bay, or “Gitmo: The Real Story,” is a “good history of medical, security, and intelligence aspects of Gitmo; also, it will be valuable for anyone assigned to a Gitmo-like facility.”
Jason Wetzel, Field Historian, Office of Army Reserve History
U.S. Army Reserve Captain Montgomery Granger found himself the ranking Army Medical Department officer in a joint military operation like no other before it – taking care of terrorists and murderers just months after the horrors of September 11, 2001. Granger and his fellow Reservists end up running the Joint Detainee Operations Group (JDOG) at Guantanamo Bay’s infamous Camp X-Ray. In this moving memoir, Granger writes about his feelings of guilt, leaving his family and job back home, while in Guantanamo, he faces a myriad of torturous emotions and self-doubt, at once hating the inmates he is nonetheless duty bound to care for and protect. Through long distance love, and much heartache, Granger finds a way to keep his sanity and dignity. Saving Grace at Guantanamo Bay is his story.
