In July 1958, U.S. Marines stormed the beach in Beirut, Lebanon, ready for combat. They were greeted by vendors and sunbathers. Fortunately, the rest of their mission - helping to end Lebanon's first civil war - went nearly as smoothly and successfully, thanks in large part to the skillful work of American diplomats who helped arrange a compromise solution.
