Editorial Reviews
Review
Anyone wishing to understand the upcoming detainee trials will want to read this fine account. -- Professor J. Peter Pham, James Madison University and Director of the Nelson Institute for International and Public Affairs
Honor Bound is an engrossing, first-hand account of military justice in an age of terrorism and what it takes to defend liberty as a JAG officer today. -- Edwin Meese, Former U.S. Attorney General
Honor Bound is an engrossing, first-hand account of military justice in an age of terrorism and what it takes to defend liberty as a JAG officer today. And though Major Rotunda pulls no punches where criticism is due, she (and we) can be justly proud of the underlying integrity of our military services and the honor-bound system of our men and women in uniform. --Edwin Meese, Former U.S. Attorney General
Kyndra Rotunda provides a unique perspective, having served in three different capacities. She was the legal advisor in Guantanamo Bay to the detention camp commander in 2002-2003, where she provided legal advice to the Commander and worked with the International Committee of the Red Cross. Later, as a member of the Criminal Investigations Task Force, she was legal counsel to the military law enforcement agents who interviewed detainees and developed cases for possible prosecution. Finally, as a member of the Office of the Chief Prosecutor, she prepared war crimes charges against alleged al Qaida and Taliban members designated for trial at Guantanamo Bay. No one else saw things unfold from these three distinct vantage points. --Morris Davis, Former Chief Prosecutor for the Military Commissions at Guantanamo Bay
Major Rotunda has written an immensely readable and stunningly valuable book about terrorism, terrorists and the extraordinarily difficult and demanding task our military faces in dealing with captured enemy combatants. I have twice visited Guantanamo, and participated in our Government's defense against some of the legal challenges to our nation's efforts to protect us from another--possibly vastly more dreadful--September 11. Nevertheless, this book was a page-turning eye-opener for me. No American should miss the opportunity--and responsibility--to read it. Bravo! --Theodore B. Olson, Former Solicitor General of the United States, Former Assistant Attorney General, Office of Legal Counsel, Department of Justice, and partner at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher
Major Rotunda makes "it clear to all that our American fighting men and women do conduct themselves in combat with honor and within the law and the Geneva Conventions." -- Rear Admiral [Ret.] James J. Carey, National Co-Chairman, The Flag & General Officers' Network
This book is must reading for anyone interested in understanding what really happened in the treatment of detainees at Guantanamo. -- Prof. Robert F. Turner Co-founder, Center for National Security Law University of Virginia School of Law
This eye-opening inside account must be read by everyone who cares about balancing national security and human dignity. -- Alan M. Dershowitz, Harvard Law School Professor and Author of Finding Jefferson (Wiley 2007)
Product Description
Honor Bound is an intriguing book that explains the law of war and the inside story of military commissions. The author is a former JAG lawyer who served on the prosecution team, worked in Guantanamo Bay, and was legal advisor to an elite team of war crimes investigators. Through a series of entertaining vignettes, Rotunda discusses and analyzes the laws governing the war on terror, the Geneva Conventions, and the laws related to detainees held in Cuba.
Readers will look at Marine Corps training in Quantico, Virginia; learn about Gitmo's detention camp through the author s experiences with real detainees and real interrogators; travel the globe with 'terrorist hunters' following investigatory leads; see what went wrong in Gitmo and with the military commissions; meet Private Jessica Lynch; and learn about laws that protect the combat wounded. Scholarly and informative, this book is also a fascinating and engaging read.
