13 HOURS is a gripping page turner that tells
the story of what happened in those 13 hours on September
11-12 in Benghazi, Libya. The operators who were there
that
day told the story as they saw it from their perspective
and the perspective of others on the ground. These men
fought hard for their lives and the lives of those working
in the CIA annex that day, they lost friends. This is the
day America suffered one of its most devastating losses in
the history of American diplomacy, the murder of an
American Ambassador, a state department officer and two
former U.S. Navy Seals at the hands of terrorist thugs.
Men
who were trying to make that small part of the world a
better and safer place died in the service of their
country.
Mitchell Zuckoff does a masterful job telling the story of
the men there that fateful day. You come to really respect
and appreciate what these men and men like them sacrifice
for us every day. 13 HOURS is not a political
statement but a true story seen by the men that were
there,
the men that were injured and suffered the loss of their
brothers. The average person cannot understand the
closeness these men feel for each other and the magnitude
of their loss. Not to mention the families that lost sons,
fathers, brother and husbands. You can feel the pain in
the
description of each person and the respect felt for each
and every one of them by each other. The Ambassador, Chris
Steven, had spent his life trying to help bring a better
life to the people of the Middle East and Libya.
When I picked up 13 HOURS I was unable to put
it down. I laughed at the antics of some of the men and
teared up when reading about Tyron Woods never being able
to see his sons grow up. America lost so much that day and
most people don't even realize on how many levels it
happened. Demonstrators do not carry rocket propelled
grenades and mortars and America does not let the murder
of
its Ambassador and three citizens go unpunished, or at
least we never have before.
Upon finishing 13 HOURS I wanted one thing more
than anything else, justice for Ambassador Christopher
Stevens, Tyron Woods, Glen Doherty and Sean Smith. 13
HOURS by Mitchell Zuckoff and the Annex Security Team
is a moving, intense book told by the men that were there
that horrible day of September 11, 2012 and should be read
by everyone.
The harrowing, true account from the brave men on the
ground
who fought back during the Battle of Benghazi.
13 HOURS presents, for the first time ever, the true
account
of the events of September 11, 2012, when terrorists
attacked the US State Department Special Mission Compound
and a nearby CIA station called the Annex in Benghazi,
Libya. A team of six American security operators fought to
repel the attackers and protect the Americans stationed
there. Those men went beyond the call of duty, performing
extraordinary acts of courage and heroism, to avert
tragedy
on a much larger scale. This is their personal account,
never before told, of what happened during the thirteen
hours of that now-infamous attack.
13 HOURS sets the record straight on what happened during
a
night that has been shrouded in mystery and controversy.
Written by New York Times bestselling author Mitchell
Zuckoff, this riveting book takes readers into the
action-packed story of heroes who laid their lives on the
line for one another, for their countrymen, and for their
country.
13 HOURS is a stunning, eye-opening, and intense book--but
most importantly, it is the truth. The story of what
happened to these men--and what they accomplished--is
unforgettable.
