In this episode, we welcome Jack Carr back to the show. He is a retired Navy SEAL that spent 20 years in Naval Special Warfare. He’s also the author of the #1 NYT Bestselling fiction thriller writer of the James Reece series which includes The Terminal List, True Believer, Savage Son, The Devil’s Hand, In the Blood, Only the Dead, and Red Sky Mourning. His debut novel, The Terminal List, was adapted for the screen, stared Chris Pratt, and became the #1 Amazon Prime Video series. That led to the announcement of season two of The Terminal List with Chris Pratt, and a spinoff series about Ben Edwards (played by Taylor Kitsch) called Dark Wolf. In this interview, we discuss his first foray into the world of non-fiction with the release of Targeted: Beirut, why he decided to write a military history book after experiencing so much success on the thriller front, what it was like writing with a co-author that is a bonafide historian, why he choose to write a book about the Marine barracks bombing in Lebanon in 1983, what the Middle East was like in the early 1980s, what led to the bombing of both the US Embassy and Marine barracks in 1983, why the US never retaliated for the attacks, why political pressure in America kept the Marines from operating at full capacity while on the ground in Lebanon, how weakness and cowardice in the White House leads to more conflict around the globe, whether or not peace in the Middle East is even possible, and much more. Let’s get into it…
