13 hours

The bestseller that inspired the film directed by Michael Bay 13 Hours presents, for the first time, the true story of the events of September 11, 2012, when terrorists attacked the U.S. State Department's Special Mission Compound and the CIA Annex in Benghazi, Libya. A team of six soldiers fought bravely to repel the attackers and protect the Americans working there, going above and beyond the call of duty and performing extraordinary acts of courage and heroism to prevent an even greater tragedy. This is their personal account of what happened during the thirteen hours of the infamous attack. Setting the record straight on a night shrouded in mystery and controversy, this compelling book takes readers inside the story of these heroes who risked their lives for each other, their country, and their country. Written by New York Times bestselling author Mitchell Zuckoff, 13 Hours is a stunning, eye-opening work—and, most importantly, it's the truth. The story of what those men faced – and the greatness of what they accomplished – is unforgettable.
