An Inside Account of 13 Hours in Benghazi

The Leonard Lopate Show | Sep 10, 2014

On September 11, 2012, 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 the attackers and to protect the Americans stationed there. Journalist Mitchell Zuckoff  and CIA contractor Mark “Oz” Geist, give an account of what happened during the 13 hours of that now-infamous attack. In the book 13 Hours in Benghazi, written by Zuckoff with the annex security team, he seeks to set the record straight on what happened during a night that has been shrouded in mystery and controversy.
