Praise for Justice at Guantanamo: One Woman's Odyssey and Her Crusade for Human Rights…
“Justice at Guantanamo is about a woman from Alaska who does understand what America really stands for—equal justice for all under the law, common decency, and respect for human rights. Kristine Huskey may have captured our attention with her beauty and her personality, but she captured our commitment to the cause of her clients with her intellect and her courage.”
—U.S. Congressman Jim Moran, Virginia’s 8th Congressional District
“Kristine Huskey skillfully weaves together the story of how she discovers her calling in life with the saga that takes her and her colleagues into the prison cells of Guantánamo Bay. The reader cannot help but be inspired by Huskey’s passion for justice and her desire to preserve America’s most cherished ideals.”
