DAVID HUNT

As an educator for thirty years I worked with kids of all ages. During that time, I had many interactions with students that were humorous, insightful, motivating and heart wrenching. This is a book of the most memorable of those interactions. These anecdotes will bring a smile to your face, motivation to your life, and tears to your eyes. You will find yourself remembering similar experiences you had as a student or with your own children. I hope that you enjoy reading this book as much as I enjoyed writing it and bringing back thirty years of wonderful memories.

The Book of Erin: A Hedgehogs TaleThe Hedge, a miniature world that is a bustling and swarming community, has always been a familiar sight in the countryside. It is a place where all creatures depend on each other, and is seen as Mother Nature herself - provider and protector. For the Hedge-Folk, with their short lives and many generations, it has always been a constant.But for Urchin, a young hedgehog, the world of the Hedge is about to change. Born into a world where hedgehogs are seen as living symbols of the Hedge, Urchin learns of the existence of the Book of Erin. This elusive book holds the key to understanding the true nature of his kind and the Hedge, and Urchin is determined to find it.As Urchin embarks on his quest, he will encounter challenges and dangers that he never could have imagined. But he will also discover wisdom and learn that the Hedge-folks blind faith in the safety and permanence of the Hedge is founded on ignorance. For it is not Mother Nature who created the Hedge, but Man - and now it is Man who seeks to destroy it.If you enjoyed books like "Watership Down" and "The Wind in the Willows," then youll love "The Book of Erin." Dont miss out on this thrilling tale of adventure, danger, and discovery.

The Caucasus has an extremely rich folk literature, almost unknown among English speakers, which includes myths, legends, magical tales, anecdotes and proverbs. The one hundred and one legends included in this book reflect the cultures of fourteen different ethnic groups - their dynamism and the matters that concerned them: survival against external dangers, the risk of starvation and the persistence of the family or clan as a coordinated group. Descended from an oral tradition, much of their knowledge was retained in memories and passed down the generations. Yet, with the introduction of the alphabet, the way of life they portray is rapidly becoming extinct. An incomparable collection, Legends of the Caucasus conveys the poetry and romance of these swiftly vanishing tribes.

So says Fox News military analyst Colonel David Hunt in a book that cuts like a buzz saw through the half-measures and half-truths, the dangerous timidity, and the outright stupidity thatif left uncheckedwill lead America to lose the War on Terror. In the hard-hitting On the Hunt, Colonel Hunt draws on his twenty-nine years of active military service and his high-level military and intelligence contacts to give an inside perspective on this global struggle, setting him far apart from the usual pundits and talking heads. Here he presents fifty pages of previously unpublished documents that reveal the chillingly detailed plans of the terrorists and insurgents who target Americans, as well as U.S. tactics to stop our enemies.From the Department of Homeland Security (Get rid of it. Scrap it.) to military leaders who have almost zero combat experience to risk-averse, politically correct strategic decision-making, Colonel Hunt pinpoints dire problems that need to be fixed before its too late (which it nearly is). Offering real solutions that most politicians and pundits are too timid to talk about, On the Hunt lays out specific steps to: Win the war in Iraq by changing the way we fightby taking the gloves off and, in doing so, honoring the sacrifices our soldiers are making Deal with Iran, North Korea, and other dangerous threats Solve the illegal immigration crisis and keep Americas enemies from breaching our borders (both of them) Make our towns and cities more securenot by looking to the federal bureaucracy but by taking responsibility ourselves Protect the liberties of American citizens at home Ensure that our soldiers are trained and equipped to fight todays and tomorrows warsAs Colonel Hunts millions of viewers on Fox News and all the readers of his bestselling book They Just Dont Get It will expect, he pulls no punches while incisively analyzing a war unlike any other. In On the Hunt, Colonel Hunt reveals exactly how high the stakes really are in the War on Terror. He condemns failed policies and the people who made them (and, yes, he names names). And most important, he clearly identifies the strategies, tactics, and qualities of leadership that we must bring to bear to ensure the survival of the proud and free nation we love.

No more politicsjust the truth about what we can and must do to protect ourselves.Fox News military analyst Colonel David Hunt has dedicated his career to fighting terrorism. A twenty-nine-year U.S. Army veteran, he has helped take out an active terrorist camp, trained the FBI and Special Forces in counterterrorism tactics, and served as security adviser to six different Olympic Games. And Colonel Hunt is angry. Why? Because even after the terrorist attacks on our country and on Americans around the world, the people charged with protecting usthe politicians and the bureaucrats in military and intelligencestill arent getting the job done. They Just Dont Get It provides a much-needed wake-up call to all Americans. As politicians posture and pundits bicker, were losing sight of the fundamental problem: Were still not equipped to win the War on Terror. In fact, the terrorist threat is far worse than we feared, as made frighteningly clear by the fifty pages of documents published here for the first timeincluding a shocking manual taken from the terrorists themselves.But instead of just complaining, Colonel Hunt tells us exactly what we must dowithout regard to political game-playingto emerge victorious in the challenge that history has given us. These are changes we can make at every levelas individual citizens, as a government, and as a military power. As he shows in this book, while the government and our military lead the fight to protect us, ordinary citizens can and must contribute.They Just Dont Get It reveals: What you can do to keep your family safe How many of the governments recent reforms are mere window dressing or, worse, counterproductive How we can fight this war and still safeguard our civil liberties and the American way of life How to fix the intelligence disaster (and yes, the politicians in D.C. still havent fixed it) How we got into this mess in the first place: its mostly because our government let the problem fester for three decadesColonel Hunt is no cautious bureaucrat or finger-pointer looking for political gain. He is a straight shooter with deep insight into whats happening in the War on Terroron the ground and in the government. They Just Dont Get It lays out in clear and compelling terms the steps we must takeall of usto win the War on Terror and ensure our survival as a free, proud, and strong nation.From They Just Dont Get ItWere fighting a war for our very survival, so wed better figure out how to win. Thats why Im writing this bookto show us how we can win, how we can protect ourselves. As a Fox News military analyst, Im paid to offer insight into how our armed forces are conducting the fight against our enemies. But this book shows that to win the War on Terror we need to concern ourselves with more than just military tactics. For one thing, we need to look at what our political leaders are doing. The sad truth is that they still dont get it. Then theres intelligence. Youve heard about our intelligence failures, but I doubt you know how bad it really iseven after the reforms. Im going to tell you. And another critical dimension to this story usually gets overlookedwhat you can do. The fact is, you can do a lot. Hell, you must do a lot. A selection of American Compass
