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.

    I served in the Marine Corps from 1979 to 1985, so the Beirut terrorist bombing occurred while I was on active duty as a member of 1st Recon Battalion in Oct 1983. Since that dreadful day I’ve had so many questions as to how our Marines were put in such a vulnerable situation, with stifling rules of engagement and no clear definition of the desired end state. Authors Jack Carr and James M. Scott have produced a compelling work that not only clears up the majority of my questions, but honors those who “gave all” in the action that produced the greatest loss of Marine Corps lives since WWII. Written with parallel tracks of strategic, geopolitical perspectives paired with the “boots on the ground” view from the grunts, “Targeted Beirut” guides the reader through the roots of what has become the Global War on Terror or GWOT. Meticulously researched, the Carr and Scott have made a significant contribution to GWOT history, packaged in a fast paced set of storylines.
