    Default 13 Hours-the book

    **Read this book!**

    Have any of you read this book yet? About the Benghazi attack from the perspective of the security team (two of whom live in Colorado). It doesn't get in to the politics of the situation but how things occured,. Not excited about the film because like the other recent films-eventhough family and friends signed off on them and approved-I'm sure the film will be "Hollywooded up" by Michael Bay.

    Just picked it up from the library, good night to read with the weather disrupting my sat tv.

    I'm mid way through it right now. I think it's a great book. Had had a few take aways.

    Made the mistake of reading it right up to bed time, hard to fall asleep, just got to the point of the team responding to the attack.

    Finished it yesterday. Wow. Can't recommend it strongly enough. Again they don't get too caught up in the political aspects of what happened but takes you inside the attacks.

    Thank you for the suggestion. I have a subscription to Audible. I'll see if it's on there.

    Finished it up before the holidays. Recommend it to people who might not even be a fan of the genre because it has implications that all of the public should be aware of

    Thanks for the recommendation. I too downloaded it to Audible and will be listening to it to and from work, daily as well as during travel time over the holidays. It appears to have raving reviews!

    Glad you all are happy with the recommendation, too bad Michael Bay is directing the film version.
