Summary

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.
