THE UNTOLD STORY OF REAGAN, THATCHER, THE INVASION OF GRENADA AND THE BEGINNING OF THE END OF THE COLD WAR
How Reagan reignited the foreign policy principles that made America a “shining city upon a hill.”
On October 25th,1983 President Ronald Reagan launched one of the most successful invasions in modern American history. In four days, Operation Urgent Fury successfully liberated the Island of Grenada from communist forces and reinstated the democratically elected government. It was the first major American operation since Vietnam and the first victorious major military operation since World War II. And this monumental task almost came at the cost of the most important Cold War alliance: that between President Reagan and British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. The urgency of action meant that the Prime Minister and close American ally was left out of the loop, publicly embarrassing for her and straining their relationship.
TURNING POINT: How the U.S. LIberation of Grenada Led to the Fall of the Soviet Union and the End of the Cold War reveals how America was able to invade a country, liberate it from a corrupt government that threatened stability in the Western hemisphere, and leave the potential for a prosperous future in the hands of its own people; it explores the greater picture of how Reagan avoided succumbing to interventionist nation-building and becoming an occupying force.
President Reagan’s strategic success helped bring an end to the Cold War and is a much needed lesson for current American foreign policy.

"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 islands 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 Reagans quick and decisive victory in Grenada reignited the worlds respect of Americas military and was a key part in winning the cold war.
"Im thrilled to see this book by John Bachman. For over 40 years, I have insisted to the world that the Reagan administrations 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, Ive 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."
PAUL KENGOR, PH.D., New York Times bestselling author of God and Ronald Reagan, The Crusader: Ronald Reagan and the Fall of Communism and Pope Leo XIV: The First American Pontiff

John Bachman has written a necessary history of how the Cold War was actually won. Turning Point is beautifully written and tells the story of the war that changed the world. A great read!
