“This simple guide contains illustrations of some of the food, clothing, toiletries and reading material given to prisoners at the US Navel Base in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. It also includes a list of popular songs that were played to the prisoners at high volume for prolonged periods of time. Although I have strived for the utmost accuracy in this guide, the information it contains is not exhaustive.”

So begins the introduction to Bill Burns’ beautifully understated Two Boiler Suits and a Playlist, which brings the conditions of prisoners being held at Guantánamo Bay into focus by cataloging the few available details of their living situations with lists, hand-drawn illustrations, and two color photographs.

Part three in a trilogy, Two Boiler Suits and a Playlist joins Bird Radio, in which Burns describes how to recreate the songs of birds of Iraq, Iran, Syria, Jordan, and parts of Turkey, Chechnya, Uzbekistan and Afghanistan; and 0.800.0FAUNA0FLORA: The Guide to the Flora and Fauna Information Service, in which Burns presents an outline for preserving and protecting plants in the same part of the world.
