What the Experts are Saying about Kyndra Rotunda’s Forthcoming Book  Honor Bound: Inside the Guantanamo Trials (Carolina Academic Press, April 30, 2008) “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) “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 “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.  U.S. Army Captain (now Major) Kyndra Rotunda was at the center of the most important and controversial legal issues in the war, including the difficulties of detaining and prosecuting terrorists while traditional war is being redefined.  Her fascinating and lucid story chronicles her journey from a Wyoming law school, through the shock of September 11th, to interrogation cells at Guantanamo Bay, terror trials, and to Walter Reed Army Medical Center deficiencies.  And though she 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 “A thrilling account by a young American woman – an Army officer and a lawyer – who finds herself sent to Guantanamo Bay to confront America’s enemies: prisoners from the war on terror.  Kyndra Rotunda has written a must-read insider’s account of what it was like to come face to face with Al Qaeda fighters in captivity.  Honor Bound: Inside the Guantanamo Trials is an invaluable contribution to the literature on the war, and a compelling eyewitness account that shatters many myths about the controversial prison.”   — James L. Swanson New York Times bestselling author of Manhunt: The 12-Day Chase for Lincoln’s Killer “Kyndra Rotunda has written a fascinating and important book that is both an enjoyable read and a source of valuable insider insight on a range of issues in the struggle against al Qaeda.  As a bright young Army Reserve JAG Captain, she served at Guantanamo during a key period as interrogation techniques were debated and changed, and was later recalled to serve in a top secret anti-terrorism unit. Her observations may surprise both critics and supporters of aggressive interrogation techniques.  With accounts of espionage and heroism, 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 “The detention and prosecution of unlawful enemy combatants captured in the global war on terrorism will be the topic of debate for many years to come.  A critical component of the debate will be the firsthand observations of those who were involved.  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 “Kyndra Rotunda's book, HONOR BOUND, is not only an interesting and well-written account of her experiences as a military lawyer, but reveals the surprising facts behind the Guantanamo Bay detainee stories, the problems with recent War Crimes prosecution trials and a host of other facets of the War on Terror.” — Professor Joyce Malcolm, George Mason University Law School, well known legal historian and Constitutional scholar and member of the Royal Historical Society “While much has been written about the America’s War on Terror, Honor Bound is the first work to approach the conflict from the unique perspective of the men and women who fight on a little-known battlefront: the uniformed lawyers charged with detaining unlawful enemy combatants and prosecuting terrorists for war crimes. Not only does Major Kyndra Rotunda’s introduce to general readers the relevant legal issues in a thorough, but engaging, manner, she invites the reader to share her own fascinating journey through the military justice system, including her service as a legal advisor to the camp commander at Guantánamo and a prosecutor preparing cases against our enemies…While not everyone will agree with this well-argued book’s conclusions, 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. “I quickly became an instant admirer of this spunky, feisty young woman and was super glad that she is a fellow American and on our side. . . Kyndra Rotunda is a very independent, highly intelligent, exceptionally patriotic, truly dedicated advocate of the rule of law and equally devoted to ensuring that it pertains not only to detainees but also to our American military personnel and their right to defend themselves in a combat or life-threatening situation. . . I feel we are all fortunate that Captain Rotunda has taken the time to write Honor Bound so that her firsthand experiences can be shared with all who read these words, both to set the record straight and to make 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
