    an important read

    Very well-written by the people who were there, 13 Hours is the factual account of the battle. subsequent fall of the American presence in Libya, and most importantly, the risk and loss of Americans lives. It is not politically biased, it just tells the truth about that night. Politics aside, it is a compelling read - I could not put it down. This book caused me to appreciate what our men and women of the Armed Forces do on behalf of others. They really do give their lives, at the expense of their families, for others. Find a veteran, express appreciation to them, and love on. They deserve it!.

    difficult

    at times the book was difficult to follow in regard to the action, who was where doing what. if i hadn't seen the movie, i would have been lost. that doesn't diminish the extraordinary bravery and heroism of these men. my recommendation would be-see the movie first.

  • Compelling Story of what Really Happened, Discredited by Some for Political Reasons.

    Exciting, well paced and balanced account as told by the security operators who "were there" and fought the battle. The book includes maps and photos to make a sometimes complicated story easier for the reader to understand. I STRONGLY recommend that anyone who plans on seeing the movie read the book first. The book goes into much greater detail on a number of factors that the movie can only lightly touch on [due to time constraints]. Example: There is a heavyset/well dressed local man in the commotion with a nickel-plated AK-47. The contractors wonder is he friend or foe? Will he run if things get "hot"? In the movie he is shown briefly in the distance and most viewers may not even notice him, but readers of the book will have much greater insight. Overall it is an exciting book that makes one think about what we are doing in regard to U.S. Foreign Policy - and how we are doing it. We are a safer nation because of the types of heroes depicted in this book.

  • Title perfectly conveys the compelling, true story told in the pages of this book.

    Very good hard cover, first edition copy with dust jacket, of a controversial event that is still making headlines several years after it really happened. Share the intense, frustrating events first hand in this very well written book that was made into a major motion picture.

  • Very Informative

    This is an excellent book that tells the story much better than the movie. It is not a bit fiction. The U.S. State Department let these guys down big time !

  • 13 Hours a must read

    Highly recommend to everyone to truly understand the depth of this horrific tragedy, that could have been completely avoided! It breaks my heart to know the real truth and not just watching the movie. You must read this book to truly know the responsibility of Secretary Clinton and the Obama administration in this horrific event in our US history. Ambassador Stevens would be here today if they had done their jobs! ;-(

  • A great but sad book!

    The book tells how the many times additional help was requested but not given to the annex and compound in Benghazi where 4 Americans lost their lives! Our country, Obama and Clinton, failed to respond! They are a disgrace!

    Honest Seller! Very quick delivery. Price was very good. Can't review the book as I've just started reading it. I have a strong feeling it's going to be very upsetting.
