About this listen

 The first in a new in-depth nonfiction series examining the devastating terrorist attacks that changed the course of history from #1 New York Times bestselling author Jack Carr and Pulitzer Prize finalist James M. Scott, beginning with the 1983 Marine barracks bombing in Beirut.

1983: the United States Marine Corps experiences its greatest single-day loss of life since the Battle of Iwo Jima, when a truck packed with explosives crashes into their headquarters and barracks in Beirut, Lebanon. This horrifying terrorist attack, which killed 241 servicemen, continues to influence US foreign policy and haunts the Marine Corps to this day.

Now, the full story is revealed as never before by Jack Carr and historian and Pulitzer Prize finalist James M. Scott. Based on comprehensive interviews with survivors, extensive military records, as well as personal letters, diaries and photographs, this is the authoritative account of the deadly attack.©2024 Jack Carr (P)2024 Simon & Schuster UK Americas Middle East Military Politics & Government United States Iran

Never knew about either of the attacks. This was a very informative read of a harrowing story caused by failed leadership and politics.

Informative and interesting

I was a young kid when this happened and I vaguely remember those news reports about the bombings. I don’t believe there is a more fair and moving historical record of the events in those days. Well done.

Powerful, moving and fair.
