Publisher's Summary:
The Benghazi crisis that occurred exactly 11 years after September 11, 2001 led to the loss of the US ambassador, Christopher Stevens and, hence, stands as one of the worst attacks against the US. This book goes beyond the events of September 11, 2012. It explores what went wrong; the things that could have been prevented; the best kept secrets of CIA operations abroad; and presents recommendations that may avoid the loss of more lives as the inevitable war against terror rages on.
The first chapter presents more of a background analysis giving a backdrop of the growing tension between various nations. The attacks that occurred on the September 11 may be pegged on some issues that may have been immediate, but the root causes go way back in time. An in-depth look at Libya and Benghazi is given in the second chapter with an aim of presenting a vivid picture of the factors that may have led to the development of unrest and revolt. The next chapters focus their attention to Benghazi, the magnificent Annex, the American ambassador, the overrun, gunfighter road, and the counterattack.
It takes more than a mere description of tragedies to help listeners learn from the mistakes that occur during terror attacks. For every government agent who might be involved in saving lives - or conveying critical intelligence - or knows someone who is involved in US foreign relations - here is the book that encompasses important aspects that they should not miss. This book is written in a modern, conversational style. It is easy to understand, yet its message is solid, accurate, and greatly informed.

Although The US Consulate Under Siege has a Few Typos/Grammatical Errors, a Useful Account of Benghazi Events of 9 11 2012
Quick Overview
The US Consulate Under Siege is a useful, brief, account of the horrific events against Ambassador to Libya, Christopher Stevens and his staff on September 11, 2012. The work would benefit with a more thorough edit for grammar and typos, but is written in an east to read style that includes minimal soul language and is reasonably objective.
Length: Print, 109 pages.
Q - Target Audience/Genre and is it marketed as Nonfiction or Fiction:
A â Nonfiction, especially useful to people interested in security issues confronting the Department of State during the Arab Spring.
Q - How was this book obtained?
A â Bought at Amazon.
Q - Are there a lot of typos/misspellings, grammatical errors or other editing failures?
A â More than I would prefer, especially from such an important work. Bearing in mind that even I commit more typos than I like, and often miss them when self-editing, I have learned to overlook typos in Kindle books pretty well. Still, even though few editing errors are serious in The US Consulate Under Siege, I feel compelled to at least note them.
The biggest error I came across, though, was this paragraph:
âTig had his own eyesight problems too. The climatic conditions at that moment worsened his vision. During the day, the temperatures had hit a high of 84degrees Fahrenheit and they had only lowered by only a dozen degrees in the night.â
