Jack Carr: My Journey Through America’s Long War

CONFLICTED

An ex-Al Qaeda jihadi turned MI6 spy and a former monk turned filmmaker, have been embedded at the heart of conflicts in the Middle East. Together Aimen Dean and Thomas Small unpack the realities of war, fundamentalism and their global implications through first-hand experience.

In this Conflicted Conversation, Thomas speaks to bestselling novelist and historian Jack Carr. A former Navy SEAL sniper, Carr talks about his phenomenal book Targeted: Beirut: The 1983 Marine Barracks Bombing and the Untold Origin Story of the War on Terror as well as his upcoming novel The Fourth Option.

Jack describes:

 His path from childhood fascination with war to becoming a U.S. Navy SEAL sniper

 SEAL training: Hell Week, mental fortitude, and what separates those who quit from those who don’t

 Boarding Iraqi oil tankers: enforcing sanctions at sea and policing the post–Gulf War international order 

 His experience as a sniper in Iraq and Afghanistan

 The 1983 Beirut barracks bombing and its role in shaping modern terrorism and U.S. foreign policy

 The mistakes in US counter-terrorism policy: how limited responses can shape enemy strategy over time

 From warfighter to writer: how Carr’s military experience informs his novels and nonfiction on the War on Terror
