On the Hunt: How to Wake Up Washington and Win the War on Terror

by David Hunt

They Still Don’t Get It!

Fox News military analyst Colonel David Hunt cuts like a buzz saw through the half-measures and half-truths, the dangerous timidity, and the outright stupidity that–if left unchecked–will lead America to lose the War on Terror.


“Colonel David Hunt’s book is a call to arms and a gut check. If the American people don’t demand protection from terror killers, we won’t get it. On the Hunt lays out a clear strategy for our survival.”
—Bill O’Reilly, Fox News Channel

“Clausewitz would read this great book, and so should you. With his bracing On the Hunt , Colonel Hunt has told us how to win the War on Terror. Our country would be a lot better off if we all take his words to heart, do what he says, and then buy another copy to send to your congressional representatives.”
—Bob Drury, coauthor of Halsey’s Typhoon

“Colonel Hunt is on top of his game in On the Hunt . It’s a no-holds-barred rant–he skewers neocon, moonbat, and pencil pusher alike. If you think the colonel’s blunt on TV, wait until you read him blistering the hacks of every stripe who are blowing the War on Terror and still don’t get it.”
—Howie Carr, radio host and bestselling author of The Brothers Bulger

Finished Col. Hunt's book for the second time around Christmas! Thoroughly convinced we did not fight this war to win, just to be POLITICALLY CORRECT! Still going on in Afganhastan and will continue until someone decides enough is enough and we have sacrificed enough of our young people!

Another really good one! Learned more about the need for the surge and wished we had just put enough troops in there all along.
