Outrage - Dale A. Dye

Even in victory, they couldn't stop killing...

The mottled-green camouflage uniform of the US Marines was out of place in the monochrome world of the dun-coloured, sun-bleached Beirut. To Corporal Steve Mallory and veteran Gunnery Sergeant Harlan Barlow, both frustrated by the vague definition of their mission and by the 'Rules of Engagement', it seemed that the top brass had forgotten the lesson of Vietnam. But when Mallory's beautiful Arab girl informant revealed a Moslem terrorist group's plan to bomb the US Embassy and the Marine barracks, he and Barlow had to fight to convince officials of the validity of their information. And, as time began to run out, a revered hero of the jihad prepared to go to his god - in a bloody spray of glory...

OUTRAGE is the violent, brutal story of terrorism and urban warfare, written by a man who himself served in Beirut. Fast-paced, authentic and at times disturbing, it is both an exhilarating testament to the sacrifice of those who served and an angry condemnation of the policies which led to the deaths of so many brave men.
