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 Geopolitics International Relations Middle East Military Politics & Government United States

A brilliant & very human historical account of The Beirut Barracks Bombing. It’s a must for insights into how in 41 years not much has changed within the psyche of Lebanon. Terrorism rules & destroys any movement towards peace, any movement towards normalcy any movement towards prosperity. Iran has a lot to answer for in its destabilization of the Middle East. You just cannot get away from it, Iran’s fanatical regime is the problem.
