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

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist
Retired army colonel and Fox News military analyst Hunt offers what he calls a commonsense perspective on the war in Iraq in particular and the war on terrorism in general. Drawing on 29 years of military service, Hunt is harshly critical of military and civilian leaders. He charges that they are more concerned with their own careers than with the U.S. troops in Iraq and should have fired Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld long ago and poured more resources into a more aggressive effort earlier, including neutralizing Iran. As things stand, he speculates the war could last for decades. Hunt laments that the high expectations after 9/11 that America would take seriously the terrorist threat haven't materialized. Instead, politicians and military leaders have used the threat to advance their careers. Other advice includes scrapping the Department of Homeland Security, fighting the war on terror with guerrilla action, gathering better intelligence, and striking at the bank accounts of terrorism supporters.
