The second in the critically acclaimed “vivid, heart-stopping, and unforgettable” (Craig Whitlock, #1 New York Times bestselling author) Targeted nonfiction series
1988: Four days before Christmas, a terrorist bomb rips apart a Boeing 747 six miles over Scotland, raining bodies, wreckage, and debris across the small market town of Lockerbie. The horrifying attack, which killed 270 men, women and children, would launch one of the world’s largest manhunts, spanning decades across dozens of countries.
Now, for the first time, the full story of Pan Am 103 is revealed. Drawing on hundreds of hours interviews with victims’ families, Scottish and American investigators and prosecutors—and tens of thousands of pages of court records, investigative reports and personal papers—Carr and Scott deliver the definitive and heartbreaking account of the bombing, the hunt for the killers, and the decades-long pursuit of justice.
Targeted: Beirut
Jack Carr’s groundbreaking nonfiction series, TARGETED, exemplifies the power of storytelling combined with meticulous research. Co-authored with Pulitzer Prize finalist James M. Scott, the series delves into the world’s most notorious terrorist attacks. The first book, TARGETED: BEIRUT, explores the 1983 Marine Barracks bombing, offering readers an engaging and detailed look at pivotal moments that continue to shape global security.
“Should be required reading from the West Wing to West Point, from Quantico to the Capitol.”
– Larry Loftis, New York Times bestselling author of Into the Lion’s Mouth
