The Untold Story Of The Attack In Benghazi: Explores What Went Wrong: Soldiers Of Benghazi Real Story

On Sept. 11, 2012, heavily armed Islamist militants launched an organized attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, setting fire to buildings before all U.S. personnel could escape or reinforcements could arrive. The attackers later launched mortar rounds at a nearby CIA compound. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three other Americans were killed in the violence, making it the first time since 1979 that a U.S. ambassador was killed in the line of duty.

This book goes beyond the events of September 11, 2012. It explores what went wrong; the things that could have been prevented; the best-kept secrets of CIA operations abroad; and presents recommendations that may avoid the loss of more lives as the inevitable war against terror rages on.

The first chapter presents more of a background analysis giving a backdrop of the growing tension between various nations. The attacks that occurred on the September 11 may be pegged on some issues that may have been immediate, but the root causes go way back in time. An in-depth look at Libya and Benghazi is given in the second chapter with an aim of presenting a vivid picture of the factors that may have led to the development of unrest and revolt.

The next chapters focus their attention on Benghazi, the magnificent Annex, the American ambassador, the overrun, gunfighter road and the counterattack.

This book is written in a modern, conversational style. It is easy to read, yet its message is solid, accurate, and greatly informed.
