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.

The stories of the many Marines were so tragic. American families suffered much loss. It was good there was analysis afterwards to determine what may have lead to the bombing. The Marines were there on a peacekeeping mission but few in Lebanon wanted peace. It was interesting to hear from President Reagan’s diary his private thoughts and hopes for the mission.
The narrator was excellent. It was a well paced audiobook. I hope Jack Carr will continue to write nonfiction books in addition to his fictional series. Highly recommend.

My own conclusion after reading this book is that terrorism must NEVER be allowed to chase the US away from its objectives. Also, the US must only choose objectives that actually matter to minimize unnecessary exposure. Reagan listened to advisors that were seeking their own glory, and we should not have been in Beirut!
