What to expect
Most of the world is aware of the tragic events surrounding the 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four Americans. Most are also aware of the resulting political controversy in Washington.

In this dramatic retelling of dangerous attacks threatening the US mission in Tripoli, Libya—less than two years after Benghazi—American valor and courage prevailed. The US personnel and intrepid operators stood fast as militias clashed, suicide bomb attacked, and numerous threats and kidnappings closed in on their location. In the midst of it all, the intelligence and determination of one woman with unwavering faith played a pivotal role in saving them all . . .
