13 Hours presents, for the first time ever, the true account of the events of September 11, 2012, in Benghazi, Libya. This is the story, told in incredible, spine-tingling detail, of what happened on the ground-in the US State Department Special Mission Compound and a nearby CIA station called the Annex, as told by the men who faced terrorism head-on-and lived to share the story.

Written by New York Times bestselling author Mitch Zuckoff with members of the Annex Security Team, 13 Hours puts readers inside the action, relating how these brave men worked heroically under pressure to save lives. They performed extraordinary acts of courage and heroism, that if not for them, Benghazi would have been a tragedy on a much larger order.

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 is unforgettable.
