The first in a new series of non-fiction that examines the devastating terrorist attacks that changed the course of history by #1 New York Times bestselling author Jack Carr and Pulitzer finalist James M. Scott, starting with the bombing of the Marines barracks in 1983 in Beirut. In 1983: the United States Marine Corps experiences the largest loss of life in a single day since the Battle of Iwo Jima when a truck full of explosives crashes into their headquarters and barracks in Beirut, Lebanon. This horrific terrorist attack, which killed 241 servicemen, continues to influence U.S. foreign policy and haunts Marines to this day. Now, the full story is revealed like never before by Jack Carr and historian and Pulitzer finalist James M. Scott. Based on extensive interviews with survivors, thorough military records, as well as personal letters, diaries, and photographs, this is the authoritative account of the deadly attack.
