THE BOYS OF POINTE DU HOC: RONALD REAGAN, D-DAY, AND THE U.S. ARMY 2ND RANGER BATTALION by Douglas Brinkley
“This short, charming, insightful book effectively interweaves the story of D-Day in the 1940s with the story of Reagan's presidency in the 1980s -- as well as Reagan's legacy. Brinkley chose his subject wisely and argues his case convincingly. If the D-Day anniversary was not quite the Reagan revolution's turning point, it surely was a useful intersection that epitomized what Brinkley calls Reagan's "penchant for historical symbolism" and embodied many of Reaganism's key themes. . Brinkley remains focused, resonant and rooted in reality.” – The Washington Post

“After four years and two books (Over the Edge; Gone Too Far), FBI hostage negotiator Max Bhagat and Gina Vitagliano finally come to terms with their precarious relationship. Having met during a terrorist siege of an airplane on which Gina was a passenger and Max led the effort to save her, our protagonists come full circle as Gina and fellow aid worker Molly are abducted and transported to Indonesia in order to trap Molly's lover, Jones. . . Brockmann's characters volley badinage like grenades, keeping Breaking Point moving at breakneck speed. Though the outcome is never in doubt, readers will be on the edge of their seats. Recommended.” – Library Journal
