Targeted: Beirut (2024)⁠^[2-3] reconstructs the 1983 bombing of the American Embassy and the later attack on the Marine barracks amid Lebanon’s civil war. It follows victims, survivors, military personnel, investigators, officials, and families while tracing the intervention, security failures, disputed responsibility, and consequences that extended for decades.⁠^[9]

This book establishes the series’ nonfiction method by combining an attack narrative with political context, institutional decisions, and the pursuit of accountability.⁠^[9]

Targeted: Pan Am 103, which will be published on April 13, 2027,⁠^[4-8] examines the bombing of a Boeing 747 over Scotland four days before Christmas in 1988, which killed 270 people aboard the aircraft and on the ground. It follows the international manhunt through the experiences of victims’ families, investigators, and prosecutors, drawing on interviews and extensive records.⁠^[10]

This book is a separate case study, shifting from Beirut to aviation terrorism and a decades-long international pursuit of justice.⁠^[10]
