Targeted: Beirut

In this compelling first installment of a new nonfiction series by Jack Carr and James M. Scott, the authors delve into the 1983 Marine barracks bombing in Beirut, a devastating attack that resulted in the greatest single-day loss of life for the Marine Corps since Iwo Jima. With 241 servicemen lost, this event not only shaped U.S. foreign policy but also left a lasting mark on the Marine Corps. Drawing from extensive interviews with survivors and a wealth of military records, personal letters, and photographs, the book offers a definitive behind-the-scenes account of a pivotal moment in American history.
