Marines in Lebanon 1958
Abstract
This is a history of the Marine Corps participation in the Lebanon crisis from July-October 1958. It is published to show the role of the U. S. Marine Corps in carrying out American foreign policy and the pacification of a country through a successful show of force. The account is based on the records of the U. S. Marine Corps and selected records of the U. S. Army, Navy, Air Force, and Department of State. In addition appropriate published accounts have been utilized. The comments of and interviews with key participants have been incorporated into the text. It must be noted, however, that although this monograph has been cleared for publication by the Department of Defense, many of the documents cited still retain a security classification.
