LISTEN TO DANGER CLOSE ON:
This month, the tables are turned when New York Times bestselling author Annie Jacobsen joins the show as guest-host to interview Jack and James M. Scott to discuss TARGETED: BEIRUT – THE 1983 MARINE BARRACKS BOMBING AND THE UNTOLD ORIGIN STORY OF THE WAR ON TERROR.
BEIRUT 1983: At dawn on Sunday, October 23, 1983, a truck laden with explosives crashes into the headquarters and barracks building of the U.S. Marine Corps peacekeeping force in Beirut, Lebanon, killing 241 American servicemen in what was the largest non-nuclear explosion on record. What followed is one of the greatest rescue stories in history.
