From a New York Times bestselling author, the harrowing, true account from the brave men on the ground who fought back during the Battle of Benghazi—and the basis of the movie starring Jon Krasinski and directed by Michael Bay.

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. The story of what happened to these men—and what they accomplished—is unforgettable.

"A minute-by-minute account of what they saw, thought and did on the night of Sept. 11-12 in Benghazi...nerve-wracking."—The Washington Post
"A crisply written, gripping narrative of the events of the battle in Benghazi that adds considerable detail to the public record of what happened there...[an] authoritative account."—The Wall Street Journal
"A great number of journalists and government instrumentalities have tilted at Benghazi...All of those efforts look fragmentary when placed side-by-side with 13 HOURS.'"—The Washington Post
"13 HOURS provide(s) a moving reminder of the sacrifice made by these men who had voluntarily put themselves in harm's way, and who 'believed in their work and their country.'"—The Boston Globe

Incredible true story of the brave actions and sacrifices of a few brave men faced with overwhelming odds. Very well written and performed. having seen the movie I didn't know what to expect but was quite surprised that I felt the same tense, anticipation, even though I already knew the outcome. Excellent audiobook!

Gripping True Story!

I would highly recommend this audio book. An hommage to modern day heroes. The movie was great but this book goes far more in depth with the characters and the chain of events.

Great audio book!

Ok read but wouldn’t necessarily recommend it. The narrator’s voice didn’t do it for me. The story lacks developing of the characters. Not a bad book by any means but… not all that good either.

Meh

I loved this movie and the story behind it, so I was really excited to get a chance to purchase the book and listen to it. Unfortunately, I couldn't get past the narrators voice. He is so monotoned, it's painful. Even in the middle of a fighting scene, he narrates like he's reading the phone book, I couldn't even finish the book because of it! I HIGHLY recommend sticking to the movie and not wasting your money on this book.

Loved movie, couldn't finish the book
