The Jack Carr Book Club April 2025 selection is THE UNVANQUISHED by bestselling author Patrick K. O’Donnell. THE UNVANQUISHED pulls back the curtain on a little-known shadow war that raged alongside the Civil War’s better-known battles. At its center: Lincoln’s special forces, the Jessie Scouts—Union soldiers who disguised themselves in Confederate uniforms to carry out daring raids, intelligence gathering, and high-risk missions behind enemy lines. Through vivid storytelling and never-before-published firsthand accounts, O’Donnell shines a light on the Scouts' deadly cat-and-mouse game with Mosby’s Rangers, uncovering espionage operations, plots to kidnap Abraham Lincoln, and a postwar proxy fight in Mexico.  Patrick K. O’Donnell is a combat historian, public speaker, and the bestselling author of 13 critically acclaimed books spanning from the American Revolution to Iraq. He is a leading authority on special operations and irregular warfare, having embedded with troops in Fallujah and advised on projects like BAND OF BROTHERS and MEDAL OF HONOR. His research blends archival discovery with thousands of oral history interviews, bringing lost stories back to life with intensity and precision.

In this episode of Danger Close, Jack is honored to sit down with a man who has not only touched lives through the screen but has been a tireless advocate for our nation’s veterans and their families - Gary Sinise. Known to many for his portrayal of Lt. Dan in the film Forest Gump, Gary’s connection to the veteran community is far more than a role. For over 40 years, he has stood side by side with those who have served, working with local Vietnam veterans, supporting the Disabled American Veterans organization, and founding the Gary Sinise Foundation to serve our country’s defenders, first responders, Gold Star families, and those in need. His dedication only intensified after 9/11, becoming a lifelong crusade to give back to those who sacrifice so much for the nation. Today, Gary shares the most personal of stories – the tragic loss of his son Mac, who passed away in early 2024 from Chordoma, a rare form of bone cancer. Gary talks about Mac’s strength, his remarkable creativity, and the legacy he left behind through his music. After Mac’s passing, Gary discovered a treasure trove of his son’s compositions - some songs known to the world, like those from the Gary Sinise Foundation documentary Always Do A Little More, and others Mac had tucked away, as of yet unheard. Out of this discovery, Gary has started a new chapter for Mac’s music: Resurrection & Revival: Part Two. Join Gary and Jack as they dive deep into the heart of a father’s loss, the power of legacy, and the importance of serving and sacrificing for others. This is a conversation about resilience, honor, and how love can drive us to create lasting impact.

Rabbi Arnie Resnicoff’s life took a fateful turn on October 23, 1983, when he found himself amidst the chaos and devastation of the Beirut barracks bombing, a bombing that took the lives of 241 U.S. servicemembers in one of the largest non-nuclear explosions in history. Rabbi Resnicoff was in Beirut to conduct a memorial service for Staff Sgt. Allen Soifert, a Jewish Marine killed by a sniper. Due to his observance of the Jewish Sabbath, he remained in Beirut following the service. When the bomb exploded, he was in a nearby building and immediately rushed to the site, becoming one of the first rescuers on the scene. Rabbi Resnicoff spent the entire day pulling survivors from the rubble and providing comfort to the dying. During the rescue, he lost his yarmulke, and Father George Pucciarelli crafted him a new one from the camouflage cover of a helmet. His actions that day were later chronicled in a letter to his wife and mother and in a report used by President Reagan. Today, Rabbi Resnicoff shares powerful memories of October 23, 1983, in the last episode of our limited series: Beirut Survivors. Rabbi Arnold E. Resnicoff began his naval career as an enlisted man in the reserves during high school and served as a Navy line officer in Vietnam, where his ship was the first to enter Cambodia in 1970. After Vietnam and a stint with Naval Intelligence in Europe, he left the Navy to study at rabbinical school. Returning to the Navy Chaplain Corps, he served on active duty for nearly 25 years, earning the Defense Superior Service Medal for his work with military and civilian leaders throughout Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. Rabbi Resnicoff also served as the National Director of Interreligious Affairs for the American Jewish Committee and continues to be a consultant on interfaith values and interreligious affairs. His life of service, both in and out of uniform, reflects a deep commitment to faith, humanity, and the enduring bonds forged in moments of profound challenge.

Dr. Jimmy Ware’s life took a dramatic turn on October 23, 1983, when he found himself at the center of the medical rescue efforts following the Beirut barracks bombing, a bombing that took the lives of 241 U.S. servicemembers in one of the largest non-nuclear explosions in history. As one of two dentists stationed in Beirut, Dr. Ware played a critical role in the aftermath of the attack. On the morning of the bombing, he and Dr. Gil Bigelow managed the entire medical response, drawing on their preparedness from a mass casualty plan devised by their friend, Dr. John Hudson. Later that day, Dr. Ware visited the bomb site and grasped the enormity of the devastation. His meticulous work, including the recovery of dental records from the ruins, proved essential in the identification of the fallen. Today, Dr. Ware shares his poignant and powerful story as part of our limited series: Beirut Survivors. A native of Savannah, Georgia, Dr. Jimmy Ware earned a Bachelor of Science in Biology from Emory University in 1978 and a Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from the Medical College of Georgia in 1982. Upon graduating, he joined the Fleet Marine Force, 2nd Dental Battalion at Camp Lejeune, NC, and later deployed to Lebanon with the 24th Marine Amphibious Unit as part of a Multinational Peacekeeping Mission. Over the course of his distinguished career, Dr. Ware received numerous decorations, including the Legion of Merit, Bronze Star, Navy Meritorious Service Medal, and Combat Action Ribbon, among others. His contributions in Beirut, both before and after the bombing, demonstrate his deep commitment to his teammates and his profession, leaving an indelible mark on those with whom he served.

Danny Wheeler’s life was irrevocably altered on October 23, 1983, when he survived the Beirut barracks bombing, a bombing that took the lives of 241 U.S. servicemembers in one of the largest non-nuclear explosions in history. As the Lutheran chaplain for the 1st Battalion, 8th Marines, Danny was responsible for the spiritual care of the Marines in Beirut. On the day of the bombing, he was in his bunk on the 4th floor of the BLT building. When the bomb detonated, Danny rode the collapsing structure down, becoming trapped for five harrowing hours. During this time, he thought of his family, recited the plots of Louis L’Amour novels, and argued with God. He was the last survivor pulled alive from the rubble. Today, Danny shares his incredible story of survival and faith as part of our limited series: Beirut Survivors. Born in Menomonie, WI, and raised in Dallas, WI, Danny Wheeler earned a Master of Divinity from Luther Theological Seminary before being called to Naval Chaplaincy. He served with the 1st Battalion, 8th Marines, and later at Naval Air Station Corpus Christi, TX, before transitioning to the Navy Reserves. Over 26 years in the Navy Chaplain Corps, Danny provided spiritual guidance and comfort in some of the most challenging environments, including the lead-up to and aftermath of the Beirut bombing, where he helped preside over memorial services and offered solace to Marines during intense shelling. Danny’s story is one of unwavering faith, service, and resilience.
