Honor First is a personal narrative of a 45 year-old Philadelphia trial lawyer called up for active military duty for the first time in his life as part of Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan. The book concerns a citizen-soldier's involvement in the development of the Afghan Constitution, the conflict between Islamic and western cultures, the visit of the 9/11 Commission to Afghanistan, and the problems encountered in state building and military occupation in a war-torn country.
