O knihe

In October 1983 a truck filled with explosives blew up in a Marine barracks in Beirut, killing 242 soldiers. SEMPER FI explores the aftermath of that terrorist attack on the Marine Lieutenant Colonel who was in charge.
"Every once in a while, a script comes along that's so articulate, so well crafted, so free of cliches, you want to cry because they aren't all like that. Michael Brady's SEMPER FI is such a script…"

"…Michael Brady's fine new play SEMPER FI … a drama dealing with a Marine Lt Colonel caught between a rock and a hard place-he was put in charge of the Marine unit in Beirut right before it was bombed by the terrorist truck in 1983.
