Critics Review

“Clinton Fernandes reveals many aspects of today’s war-splashed world. Even those Australians who dispute several of his findings will learn much from his pithy book.” - Geoffrey Blainey, AC, FAHA, FASSA

“Clinton Fernandes has written a searingly forensic examination of Trump’s real agenda. It’s a must-read for anyone wanting to understand how radically the US has changed and what it now all means for the rest of us.” - John Lyons

“Part history, part prediction, the book is an engaging and provocative read by one of Australia’s more refreshingly critical foreign policy experts” - Ben Saul, Challis Chair of International Law at The University of Sydney

“Turbulence is a vital resource for policy-makers, offering a bold, insightful vision to help guide Australia toward a more independent, secure and prosperous future. Highly recommended.” - Major General Michael Smith (retd)
