About Author

Cary Donham never set out to be a rebel. He entered West Point as a small-town boy with a deep respect for tradition. But over three years, something shifted. Confronted with the brutal realities of war, he began to ask: What if serving meant betraying his conscience? His refusal to compromise led to national headlines—and isolation from the very brotherhood he trained alongside.  

Today, Cary is a respected attorney and writer, using his story to ask difficult questions about war, patriotism, and what it means to do the right thing when it’s the hardest choice of all.
