About this listen
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.
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 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.

Yet soon after the United States and its allies removed the Taliban from power, the mission veered off-course and US officials lost sight of their original objectives.

Worth the money
Part sounded interesting but I have wide knowledge of international relations and military battlefield issues so it was not surprising what I heard. Part of it sounded like conspiracy theory though. But worth the money

Well researched, but incomplete.
Would you try another book from Brandon Webb and Jack Murphy and/or Melinda Fleming and Salomon Maya ?
Maybe.
What could Brandon Webb and Jack Murphy have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Investigate why requests for additional security for the embassy in Benghazi were refused and report on who the government officials were who refused to send the additional security.
How could the performance have been better?
A different narrator.
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
No.
Any additional comments?
Provides additional insight and adds to the understanding of the events surrounding the attacks on the U.S. facilities in Benghazi. But does not answer the basic question of who was responsible and what is being done to prevent similar mistakes.

comes up short
What did you like best about Benghazi? What did you like least?
Not much unfortunately
Would you ever listen to anything by Brandon Webb and Jack Murphy again?
Yes of course
Do you think Benghazi needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
No not unless the State Department finally is found totally responsible, and the director at the time is jailed.
You can only follow-up this book with facts.
Any additional comments?
Had you not known the basic events inside the American Embassy in Benghazi, Libya, then this would be an informational listen. Since the majority of the world already knows this, the audiobook is no more educational.

Concise and Unslanted
This is the best description of the Benghazi attack and the events that led up to it. Very concise and informative without a political slant either way.

Great background and historical info
Great background and historical info for "13 Hours." Gives more perspective on who was involved and the facts about blaming a cartoon video for what happened. This area has been a hot bed of issues for the west since the 1700's
