Please join us for an in-person event for a conversation and book signing with former Navy SEAL Sniper and New York Times bestselling author Jack Carr for his latest nonfiction book Targeted Beirut: The 1983 Marine Barracks Bombing and the Untold Origin Story of the War on Terror (Publish Date: September 24, 2024). All books must be purchased through the Reagan Library Museum Store to receive signature. In 1983, the United States Marine Corps experienced its greatest single-day loss of life since the Battle of Iwo Jima when a truck packed with explosives crashed 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.
This full story is revealed as never before in Targeted Beirut 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.
From a young age, Jack Carr had two dreams: serving his country in uniform as a Navy SEAL and becoming an author. Following twenty years in the SEAL Teams, Jack shifted his sights to publishing and fulfilled his literary objective with the release of his debut novel, The Terminal List which later became a #1 Amazon Prime Video series starring Chris Pratt.
