 A Marine Corps Commandant’s Professional Reading List Selection

The first in a new “authoritative, shocking” (Brad Meltzer, #1 New York Times bestselling author) 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 with this “definitive, behind-the-scenes account of a mission and a fight that changed America” (Doug Stanton, #1 New York Times bestselling author). Based on comprehensive interviews with survivors, extensive military records, as well as personal letters, diaries, and photographs, this is “a masterwork of research and storytelling” (Peter Schweizer, #1 New York Times bestselling author).

It’s the second book I rode about these disastrous and consequential events. The first book was "Inshallah" written by Oriana Fallaci where she wrote from a iIalian perspective.
This book, written from a US point of view is much more factual and detailed about the political situation back home and humanizes the Marines who fell prey to the Terrorists, dead or alive.
It was a mission worthy of the American principals, but "the road to hell is paved with good intentions". It takes two to tango, the other side definitely wasn’t willing to dance.

Heartwrenching and infuriating.

Incredible examination of a monstrous event that foreshadowed the global war on terror. The authors, together with Ray Porter, do an amazing job in telling the story about the horrors of that day and the failed US politics leading up to the tragedy.

Masterful

This is a tragic story which could have been told in 20 minutes but is dragged out for hours

Nice speaker otherwise boring
