This short study of the role of the U.S. Marines in Operation
Urgent Fury is in some ways an experiement in the writing of
comtemporary military history. The near-coincident Beirut
deployment and Grenada intervention presented us with the problem
and opportunity of collecting operational history in real time. The
brief account was prepared within a few weeks of the events it
describes and relies heavily upon the first hand testimony of the
participants. The viewpoint presented, therefore, is very much that
of the participants and the story is told almost entirely in terms
of their perceptions and beliefs.
