Description

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Written by the team of former Special Operations warriors who run SOFREP.com, here is the definitive account of what happened before, during, and after the deadly Benghazi attack that claimed the lives of four Americans.

On September 12th, 2012, Brandon Webb learned Glen Doherty, one of his closest friends and his former Navy SEAL teammate, was killed alongside Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and two other Americans when the U.S. State Department and CIA headquarters in Benghazi, Libya, were sieged in a shocking terrorist attack. For the next four months, Webb and his team at SOFREP.com, the world’s premier Special Ops website, embarked on a relentless investigation to understand exactly what happened to their countrymen, as well as the roles played by the Obama administration, State Department, and CIA. 

Drawing on unmatched sources, they spoke to individuals who would talk to no one else, including fellow Special Operations team members familiar with the African theatre, and to well-placed contacts in the Washington intelligence community. This is their report—an unforgettably gripping minute-by-minute narrative of the events and their aftermath as they really unfolded on that terrible day in Libya.

  • Covers up the coverup

    Book avoids mentioning Hillary Clinton's involvement in the coverup scandal. The orders to stand down were glossed over and not covered adequately. Barack Obama's policies set the stage for this debacle. Hillary Clinton's incompetence should have taken center stage as well. This book was was written before the facts were in about deposed President Morsi's involvement and the $8,000,000,000 given to him by Obama for services rendered. Barack Obama personally invited the Muslim Brotherhood to the White House on many occasions and has been a staunch supporter of this anti-Amereican terrorist organization. The Muslim brotherhood wants to impose a caliphate and champions the total annihilation of Israel. There is a lot more evil here than meets the jaundiced eyes of these authors. They seem to be part of the coverup themselves.

    Extremely informative and revealing. If the information contained within the essay is accurate (as the authors claim it is), it is hard to believe that John Brennan has been tapped as the next CIA director. (But then again, given today's woeful leadership inadequacies in all branches of government, perhaps it is not so surprising.) For the lay reader, this book desperately needs an acronym translation appendix.
  • Nice to hear Truth, minus The agenda

    This book was riveting and fascinating. Thank you to Brandon and Jack for cutting through the media interference to bring us the facts. This was a serious incident and I feel that more responsibility should have been laid at the feet of the President and the State Department. I guess one can only hope.
  • Spot on, Great insight

    Keep bringing the facts out and making waves boys. This was a very well written piece with some tremendous insight that only folks at SOFREP would be privy to. There was no excuse for what happened in Benghazi. This book nails that fact. Watch your six fellas. Prayers for Ty, Glen, Mr. Stevens and Sean.
