TARGETED: 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 U.S. 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.

“TARGETED: BEIRUT brings this bloody and too often forgotten chapter of American history to life. This book is meticulously researched and brilliantly executed, a work of history that reads like a thriller. I couldn’t put it down. Carr and Scott deliver on every page.”



–Elliot Ackerman, New York Times bestselling author of The Fifth Act: America’s End inAfghanistan

“A gut-wrenching account of the numerous strategic missteps and miscalculations by Washington that ultimately placed U. S. Marines in a quagmire of death and terror. Jack Carr and James M. Scott bring truth to those of us who remain and honor to those who died believing in and upholding the traditions of our beloved Corps.”

— LtCol Mark Singleton, USMC (Ret)
