In 2002 a fifteen-year-old Canadian citizen was captured in Afghanistan for allegedly killing an American soldier. A badly wounded Omar Khadr was transferred to the US Bagram Air Force base and then Guantánamo Bay detention camp. He would remain there without trial until October 2010. In Janice Williamson’s Omar Khadr, Oh Canada, over thirty contributors analyze Khadr’s background, his incarceration, the actions of Canadian authorities, and the implications raised by his legal case.
