The Outlaw Ocean

Introducing | Fiasco: Benghazi — The Dictator


Listen Later

On the night of September 11, 2012, a deadly attack on a U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, left four Americans dead, including Ambassador Chris Stevens. What followed this tragedy was a political storm that raised questions about America’s role in the world, established a playbook for weaponizing attention in the age of social media, and ultimately changed the course of U.S. history.Here's a preview of Fiasco: Benghazi, from Slow Burn co-creator Leon Neyfakh, which revisits a political scandal that dominated the latter half of the Obama years and lay the groundwork for the rise of Donald Trump. In this episode, Leon explores how a prison massacre carried out under Libya’s long-time dictator, Muammar Gaddafi, set the stage for the Benghazi attack.
