Book Presentation: On the Hunt by Colonel David Hunt

Book Abstract

In On the Hunt, Colonel Hunt explains how our military and political leaders botched the war in Iraq and the war against terror. Instead of displaying forceful leadership, taking decisive action and risks, America’s leaders have wasted our post-9/11 political fortunes with half-measures and timidity. Hunt asserts that our leaders are more concerned with their reputations and political careers than with solving the terrorist threats that still plague our country’s security. He urges more aggressive action in Iraq, against terrorists internationally, and against terrorism’s sponsors like Syria and Iran. Within America, we need to fix the security holes that our government’s lack of leadership has left gaping: securing our borders, protecting our infrastructure, and improving our domestic emergency response that functioned so poorly in response to Katrina.

Summary of On the Hunt

Losing the War on Terror

The War on Terror is a different kind of war – it is for our very survival as a nation. And it is not going well. “It’s not just Iraq. We’ve got huge problems in Afghanistan. The rest of the Middle East is screwed up. We’ve badly mishandled Iran and North Korea.”
