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. The 2012 Benghazi attack that September was coordinated against two United States government facilities in Benghazi Libya by members of the Islamic militant group Ansar al-Sharia At 9:40 p.m. September 11 members of Ansar al-Sharia attacked the American diplomatic compound in Benghazi resulting in the deaths of U.S. Ambassador to Libya J. Christopher Stevens and U.S. Foreign Service Information Management Officer Sean Smith. Stevens was the first U.S. ambassador killed in the line of duty since 1979. At around 4:00 a.m. on September 12 the group launched a mortar attack against a CIA annex approximately one mile 1.6 km away killing CIA contractors Tyrone S. Woods and Glen Doherty and wounding ten others. Investigations showed that the attack was premeditated - although rioters and looters not acting with the group may have later joined in after the attacks began. There is no definitive evidence that al-Qaeda or any other international terrorist organization participated in the Benghazi attack. The United States immediately increased security worldwide at diplomatic and military facilities and began investigating the Benghazi attack. State Department officials were later criticized for denying requests for additional security at the consulate prior to the attack. In her role as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton subsequently took responsibility for the security lapses. On August 6 2013 it was reported that the U.S. had filed criminal charges against several individuals alleged to have been involved in the attacks including militia leader Ahmed Abu Khattala. Khattala has been described by Libyan and U.S. officials as the Benghazi leader of Ansar al-Sharia. The U.S. Department of State designated Ansar al-Sharia as a terrorist organization in January 2014. Khattala was captured in Libya by U.S. Army Special Operations Forces who were acting in coordination with the FBI in June 2014. Twelve hardcover
