Summary
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.

Brought tear to my eye
I’m in my 50s and English and found this fascinating and some of the accounts were quite emotional. Great book.

Informative and interesting
Never knew about either of the attacks. This was a very informative read of a harrowing story caused by failed leadership and politics.

Fascinating history
I learnt a lot. RIP. Incredible how so little has changed in the region in over 40 years (and of course millennia before)
