In 1983 more than two hundred American Marines were stationed in Beirut with a vaguely defined mission to remove the PLO and keep the peace.
But once the Palestinians were evacuated and a new Lebanese president elected, Moslem terrorists assassinated President Gamayel and relentlessly pressed their guerrilla war, forcing the Marines to stay in "The Root" and to participate in an increasingly tense and dangerous situation.
This brutal, fast-moving novel about the events that led to the massacre of the Marines is peopled with Moslem terrorists; Arabs willing to lay down their lives to stop the fighting; tough Israeli soldiers
who deride American peace efforts; wise-guy journalists; and -- of course -- the Marines. |
Unfortunately, this book is out of print. You can usually find a copy here, however.
