Former Reagan Insider, Gary Anton, Launches New Book "Patriots: The Paradox of Power," Uncovering Hidden Narratives in American History
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., Feb. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Gary Anton, a former participant in intelligence and foreign policy discussions during the Reagan administration, announces the release of his latest book, "Patriots: The Paradox of Power." In this revealing account, Anton introduces readers to his group's intelligence and foreign policy discussions during a pivotal period. Gary Anton's compelling narrative invites readers to explore the untold stories that shaped the course of our nation's history.
Reflecting on his participation in intelligence and foreign policy discussions, Anton emphasizes the importance of accountability and historical reflection. With the upcoming election looming, he aims to explore the role of patriots in shaping the nation's future, sparking a deeper understanding of his perspective and contributions.
Anton recalls his group's contributions to national security and international relations. Among the group's remarkable achievements was the identification of a military base established by Cuba and the Soviet Union in Grenada in 1983. Through their intelligence efforts, they provided Washington with critical satellite photos showing ten Mig Russian Fighter Jets that had recently arrived from Cuba, via the Soviet Union. President Reagan acknowledged that, without their intelligence, they were unaware of these activities in Grenada.
The discovery of this military base had the potential to change the course of history. Anton and his colleagues played a crucial role in shaping global events during their time in Washington, D.C.
Anton's group also played a key role in promoting democracy in several Caribbean countries, including Haiti, Jamaica, and the Dominican Republic. Their five years in Washington, D.C., were marked by approval from the White House, elevating them to the status of a civilian intelligence group directly associated with the federal government.
During this period, the group welcomed a Royal Saudi Prince to D.C., forging strong ties between Saudi Arabia and the United States. Anton's dedication to revitalizing Haiti and attracting investors to the country remains unwavering.
The book also highlights the group's diverse composition, featuring a code inspector, real estate agent, Macy's maintenance engineer, stockbroker, and Anton himself, who managed an assembly factory in Haiti. Their collective expertise facilitated significant diplomatic efforts, including promoting democracy in Caribbean nations and fostering U.S.-Saudi relations.
Anton's memoir serves as a testament to the group's extraordinary efforts, efforts that continue to be a source of pride for many. He emphasizes that their group was not just another in a sea of organizations but rather a dedicated collective willing to risk their lives and reputations for the greater good.
With over 300 articles written about his group from 1987 to 1994, including coverage in prominent publications like Time Magazine and the Washington Post, Anton's firsthand account offers a unique perspective on a pivotal period in American history and aims to provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of the author's experiences and insights.
Anton's book has already generated significant attention, praised for its authenticity and relevance. Quoting a Senate investigator featured in New York Magazine's Christmas issue, "It is like you've entered into a world of science fiction and then you find it all checks out."
However, Anton's journey was not without challenges. Following the article in 1987 that highlighted his group's story, Anton faced a series of life-threatening incidents. He speculates these may have led to his inclusion in a Witness Protection Program, citing numerous instances of surveillance and protection by law enforcement and intelligence agencies since then.
The book also touches on Anton's remarkable ability to double company revenues through his sales and marketing acumen, an expertise he also hoped to apply in Haiti. His vision for Haiti included new factories, improved infrastructure, and job creation through innovative projects like producing the world's strongest cement for construction resilience.
As the United States stands at a crossroads with an election that could alter the nation's course, Gary Anton's memoir, "Patriots: The Paradox of Power," offers readers a unique perspective on the past and an opportunity to reflect on the contributions of those who, like our forefathers, dedicated themselves to the betterment of the nation.
In addition to his personal journey, Anton pays tribute to his father, a trailblazing celebrity chef of the 1950s and '60s, renowned for his innovative culinary creations. Though his father's dream of launching a food network was never realized after his life was tragically cut short by his untimely death, Anton intertwines this personal loss with his journey, revealing a rich tapestry of experiences spanning culinary arts, electronics, and business, and seeks to honor his father's legacy by presenting his ideas in his book.
Anton hopes their group is recognized and can reunite once again, reliving moments of risking their lives and reputations in the name of service and security for the country and other nations, and the part where they were just volunteers—contracted city inspectors turned into an intelligence and foreign policy unit that had a choice to help out or not.
For those eager to explore the untold narratives of American history, "Patriots: The Paradox of Power" is now available on major platforms, including Amazon Books, Kindle, Barnes and Noble, and Google Books. To explore the intriguing narrative further and read reviews, visit Goodreads.
