Praise for TURNING POINT: How Reagan Liberated Grenada and Won the Cold War by John Bachman"Bachman brilliantly shows how Reagan brought his deep and intuitive understanding of the American people and domestic politics to bear on foreign policy, and provided the homegrown support any president needs to win overseas."

-AMBASSADOR RICHARD GRENELL, special presidential envoy for special missions, and President and Interim Executive Director of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts

"Learn how Reagan's principles, tested in Grenada, restored America's moral and military might-and brought the Soviets to their knees."

-MICHAEL REAGAN, NEWSMAX contributor and New York Times bestselling author of Lessons My Father Taught Me: The Strength, Integrity, and Faith of Ronald Reagan

""Four days of intense fighting in a remote corner of the planet turned the tide in a global struggle that lasted almost a half century. John Bachman brilliantly explains how this happened."

-GORDON CHANG, bestselling author of Plan Red: China's Project to Destroy America

"A fresh and needed perspective on how a small island's liberation may have temporarily strained a historic alliance but ultimately handed Reagan and the U.S. a key victory on the way to winning the Cold War."

-KT McFARLAND, former deputy national security advisor and Wall Street Journal bestselling author of Revolution: Trump, Washington and "We the People"

"A needed deep dive into how Reagan's quick and decisive victory in Grenada reignited the world's respect of America's military and was a key part in winning the cold war."

"I'm thrilled to see this book by John Bachman. For over 40 years, I have insisted to the world that the Reagan administration's tremendously successful and pivotal liberation of Grenada was a turning point in the Cold War. It was a singularly transformative event. One almost had to live through it to understand that. For decades, I've urged fellow Reagan writers to take up a history of Grenada and teach the world why that event was so crucial. None ever did, until John Bachman. Huge kudos to Bachman for telling this story and for reminding the world what it forgot."

"A needed deep dive into how Reagan's quick and decisive victory in Grenada reignited the world's respect of America's military and was a key part in winning the cold war."

-CARL HIGBIE, host of NEWSMAX Carl Higbie Frontline, author of Profiles in Freedom, and retired Navy SEAL

-GREG KELLY, host of NEWSMAX Greg Kelly Reports, author of Justice for All, and retired marine
