A summer paradise shattered by terror. A nation forever changed.
Sousse: Terror on the Beach is a deeply moving and meticulously researched account of the June 26, 2015, terrorist attack at the Riu Imperial Marhaba Hotel in Tunisia, where 38 innocent lives-mostly British tourists-were tragically lost. Through survivor testimonies, forensic analysis, and geopolitical insight, Marina Deepwell unpacks the horror and aftermath of one of the deadliest acts of terrorism to strike a Western tourist destination.
This comprehensive work explores the anatomy of the attack, its global impact on tourism and security policy, and the human stories that still echo across the beaches of Sousse. More than a chronicle of terror, it is a call for reform, international cooperation, and resilience in the face of modern threats. Both educational and emotionally compelling, this book is essential reading for travelers, policymakers, and anyone seeking to understand the intersection of safety, freedom, and fear in a globalized world.
