Thanks for sending me a copy of 'In Time of War.' I read it and found it very moving, especially that pathetic note from the doomed German 'terrorists' who had been so ably defended. I will use the book to help prepare a speech on civil liberties that I am giving later in the year. Thanks very much for thinking of me.

Congratulations on the publishing of your book. I know that it will help preserve the values that we in uniform are sworn to defend.

Hey Pierce, Just wanted to say thank you. Thank you..... for taking the time to get up early to appear on the "AmericanAM". As you know, we are truly blessed to have Henry Raines and the crew, on the radio each week day morning covering Tampa Bay. Broadcasting from the wretched, steaming, festering, bowels of Florida's District 13, home of (gulp) Congresswoman Katherine Harris and my home, Bradenton, Florida. Henry has raised the bar by having you on his show. Your comments and perspective, for me, put into words the answer to questions bouncing around in my head all along. Thank you for being that voice of reason. I hope you will take the time to visit "Duffy Tavern" soon maybe find time to speak locally. Hope you and Henry Raines can work something out. A new fan of yours, and listener of AmericanAM. In thought and spirit,

-Glenn W. Bonaker

Thank you for your letter and copy of your new book with its generous inscription. I look forward to reading it and will be sure to share it with Bill and give him your regards. Congratulations on the book's publication. It was good hearing from you again.

Please accept my sincere thanks for your unexpected kindness in sending me a copy of your new book. Although behind on several projects, I could not resist reading it cover to cover yesterday; and thoroughly enjoyed it. I am proud to add it to my small collection of autographed books by authors I sincerely admire. Having read all four books written by American authors on the Nazi saboteur trial, I can fairly say yours is the best. Your presentation of the political-military situation and the conflicts within the court are particularly important contributions to the field, as well as your discussion on why Quirin should have limited value as a precedent today. I am currently preparing a second piece on military commissions for submission to law reviews in the next few weeks, and I will replace my current citations for several of these issues with new ones to your book. Finally, I would also like to express my appreciation for your efforts in establishing the 'intimeofwar.org' website. It is a fantastic resource for scholars, students, and practitioners wishing to learn more about the vital subjects you discuss in the book, and I plan to highlight it to students in my Law of War course this fall. Thank you again for both your personal kindness and your important contributions to the field.

On Saturday 8-27-05, you had a pre-recorded interview airing with Pierce O'Donnel regarding his new book 'In Time of War'. Immediately, upon hearing the interview I ordered the book from Amazon and look forward to reading it. My father was one of approximately 11,000 German/Americans interned during WWII in a web of internment camps across the United States. The camps were operated by the Department of Justice. Like the Japanese, German/Americans and Italian/Americans were discriminated against because of their ethnicity or ancestry during a time of war. For 60 years we have been trying to get our story told and have been blocked by the Government in every attempt. Currently, in congress we have a bill(SB 1354 & HR 3198) Wartime Treatment Studies Act. Through this bill, once again internees are trying to push the government into acknowledging the abuses perpetrated on innocent civilians during time of war. Since most internees are advanced in age, it is critical to pass this bill before internees are deceased and no longer available to give first party testimony. These internment stories are important not only to the internees but as a part of the Guatanamo detainee story. The abuse of executive power during time of war needs to be examined, exposed and adjudicated to correct the abuses of civilians who are trapped in the wrong place at the wrong time during war. Please help us expose the secret of European internment during WWII. More information is available on www.foitimes.com. In addition, a very large number of news articles are available from the New York Times concerning European internment and civil liberty abuses. Thank you.

Just finished "In Time of War" which is a great read. I had never heard anything about that chapter of our history before reading your book. Very well researched and fast-moving to boot. The parallels to today are scary but also true. The veneer of civilization and legality is pretty thin (New Orleans came unglued in two days).
