"I’m partial to AFOSI (Air Force Office of Special Investigations) stories, and this one is terrific! Insurgent Hunter is an engrossing memoir that reads like a top-notch thriller. Treadway and Templin are the real deal—and it shows!"

– Marc Cameron, New York Times bestselling author of Breakneck and Tom Clancy Command & Control

"I had the privilege of serving with great Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, and Airmen in Iraq from 2006-2007—at the time when WIAs and KIAs peaked. This book brought back memories, and I felt like I was reliving the events in those crucial years. Much like “Dawg’s” pursuit of HVTs (high-value targets), special operation forces, acting on tips and intelligence from Iraqis, targeted and killed the terrorist al Zarqawi in June of 2006. It was a good day. I recalled the joy of making a difference and developing others, and when Treadway and Templin describe the explosion that took down Hammer 1, I relived the pain of losing comrades. From Balad to Osan, Treadway and Templin have captured the essence of what it means to live the warrior ethos: always accomplish the mission, never accept defeat, never quit, and never leave a fallen comrade. Despite academic, physical, and professional setbacks, Dawg drives on. God bless our special operators—the quiet professionals. His story is our story."

"I’m stunned, elated, and grateful to have guys like Jack Treadway making our military and country (and world) a better place to be. Insurgent Hunter is one hell of a story. Treadway’s background, instinct, and observation of role models helped him to overcome the biggest challenge he’d face in a wartime military—how to motivate others to ultimately succeed in every endeavor they’d face. In war, however, not everything can be controlled. Treadway is the case study of how to move forward and encourage others. Grab your favorite drink, open the book, and be inspired."

"One man’s compelling journey through this generation’s wars—Jack’s story covers it all—what life was like coming up through the SEAL Teams as an NCO, transitioning to both the Air Force and the Officer Corps and then his experience as a Special Agent collector outside the wire during Operation Iraqi Freedom. Perhaps most importantly, it tells the story of the often challenging shift to civilian life once the uniform is put away and the memories of lost friends still linger. It was an honor to serve alongside him and the other men and women during the first major conflicts of the 21st Century."

– Colonel Chris Church, OSI, United States Air Force (Retired)

"Jack Treadway and Stephen Templin, the New York Times bestselling author of SEAL Team Six, have delivered another armrest-gripping, non-fiction, military thriller. Their latest work, Insurgent Hunter, describes the incredible exploits of former Navy SEAL and Air Force Office of Special Investigations Special Agent Jack Treadway, an alias because Treadway’s real name cannot be revealed.

Insurgent Hunter takes the reader from Treadway’s training as a fledgling SEAL, where he is badly injured and nearly killed. After his tenure with SEAL Delivery Vehicle Team 2 and SEAL Team 5, he transitions from enlisted Navy SEAL to Commissioned Air Force officer assigned to the elite Office of Special Investigations. As an OSI Counterinsurgency Agent, Treadway deploys to Iraq and engages in a fierce campaign, along with his fellow OSI agents, to hunt down bloodthirsty Al Qaeda insurgents determined to kill as many Americans as they can.

The harrowing details of Treadway’s day-to-day, life-and-death, experiences as an insurgent hunter in Iraq are described in detail, bringing the reader along on every convoy, interrogation, firefight and IED attack. Templin’s own military experience, in addition to his taut, edge-of-seat writing, only adds to Treadway’s account, and lends an authenticity few authors of real-life military accounts can offer.

I was particularly touched by the human aspects of Treadway’s saga. His further experiences pursuing stateside sex offenders, and his battle with survival guilt in the wake of returning home from Iraq alive while several of his fellow OSI Agents and closest friends did not, adds an emotional depth to the book not typically found in military non-fiction.

I cannot recommend Insurgent Hunter enough. If you are a fan of gut-wrenching, true-to-life, military literature, this is the book for you."
