I saw this lady on a talk show, perhaps John Stewart and The Daily Show (the only news I watch anymore) ... good book that takes you inside the insanity of what our government and parts of our military have become. It takes a JAG Officer's eye view of one having been there and tells you how bad the Supreme Courts recent decision on these detainees really is since they all have trials, reviews and more rights than the soldier guarding them. I found it fascinating and worth reading if you want to know whats really going on down there in Gitmo because the media sure as heck isnt telling us!

The message itself is invaluable. I'm so glad I read it. But she really needs a new editor and/or proof-reader. It's astonishing, some of the mistakes in the book. I don't mean mistakes about the facts themselves; rather, the mistakes that would easily be noticed by any sharp-eyed middle school English Grammar class student.

This book is a HISTORICAL first hand account of an experience with the trials in Cuba. This book is easy to read and Kyndra allows a reader with little understanding of the world of a lawyer to understand what is happening. Extensively referrenced with supporting information. Pictures add to the compelling nature of the book. This story is hard to put down. I appreciate the true account of Kyndra's experiences.

Wow! I purchased several copies of this book, because I was a law school class mate of Kyndra. I opened up a copy, and didn't put it down until I finished it. Very impressive and so informative. Definitely an insider's real life experience, which is such a breath of fresh air, after only hearing about "Gitmo" from the twisted and often unreliable perspectives of the media. I truly hope Kyndra continues her writing, as I am already waiting for her next book Go Kyndra!!

I opened this book with great anticipation, but with the expectation that I may not be able to understand everything I was about to read with respect to the content. Kyndra's unique and charming style has made this book easy to read, while extremely informative with explanations of circumstances, laws and situations an average person can absorb. Her personal account is eye-opening and intriguing, one that every American should take advantage to read! I am thankful that she has shared her story and I look forward to future publications of this very talented author.

After reading this book, I purchased several more copies. Every patriotic person I know and love will recieve a copy as a gift. Thanks to Rotunda for providing me an avenue to thank the many Americans who serve our country with honor.

Honor Bound: Inside the Guantanamo Trials
Personal and easily approachable. Hearing the other side of the story is long overdue. Like a breath of fresh air. Irene Zion (Review Data Last Updated: 2008-06-18 06:13:36 EST)

This is not just another political book for or against Guantanamo and the war on terror. Written by an articulate young lawyer who found herself in the midst of some of the most important situations in recent years, it gives exciting, personal and inherently reliable accounts of those events that make a great read. The author's perspective as an Army officer comes through clearly. But she also takes on bureaucratic indifference that makes victims of U.S. soldiers, and American efforts to please media personnel and international critics who then spin the efforts to make the U.S. look worse than before. You will coming away genuinely better informed by reading this book and you will be especially impressed by its author.

This afternoon, my mailman delivered a box to my door. It was Kyndra Miller Rotunda's book, Honor Bound: Inside the Guantanamo Trials. I decided to take a moment to give it a quick skim.
At least that's what I initially intended to do. It's now several hours later, and I just put it down. I can't recall the last book that I read entirely in one sitting! In a word, this book is phenomenal! It is that rare find of a book that is scholarly, well researched and extensively referenced, yet eminently readable. And what an interesting and timely topic! This is the inside story of "Gitmo" that had to be written, and must be read! I'd write more here, but I have to get something to eat! Great job, Ms. Rotunda! William J.
