Sinopsis

September 11, 2012: Hundreds of fanatics from Al Qaeda�s Shariah Brigade descend on the American Embassy compound in Benghazi, Libya, in a meticulously timed, flawlessly staged nighttime assault that resulted in the brutal murder of the U.S. Ambassador to Libya, J. Christopher Stevens. In its sheer audacity alone, the attack was a shattering pronouncement that America�s enemies will take every opportunity to spill innocent blood for their cause.

But why was the Embassy such a vulnerable target? Who was responsible for safeguarding the ambassador and why couldn�t they come to his aid? How could the terrorists� plan be allowed to succeed in an era when our foreign agencies should be more protected than ever before?

While fundamental questions like these have gone unanswered by the Obama administration, the outrage of so many Americans at Ambassador Stevens�s death has only deepened in the year since the Benghazi siege.

At last, the events surrounding that dark and desperate night come to light in a gripping, moment-by-moment narrative from the only man in a position to tell the full story. Sergeant Morgan Jones, who headed the Embassy�s security detail for six months in 2012, goes behind the scenes to reveal:

� The Embassy�s secret access that no one but Jones knew about�and that allowed him entry as the savage firefight raged on

� Jones�s discovery of the murdered ambassador�s body and his confirmation that the killing was indeed targeted and sadistically brutal

� The State Department�s rotation system that left Embassy security sorely understaffed with a small, new team in place on the night of the attack

� The enemies� undetected reconnaissance and how they crafted a seamless assault that simultaneously cut off any possible outside assistance

� How the Embassy�s key armed security detail was made up of a local militia closely allied to Al Qaeda

� How those Americans serving at the Embassy repeatedly asked for more U.S. forces, more firepower and physical defenses, but were repeatedly denied such protection

. . . and more fascinating military and strategic detail, rendered in �you are there� authenticity. The Embassy House is a must-read for those seeking answers that authors and journalists have been unable to provide� because, unlike Sergeant Morgan Jones, they were not eyewitnesses to this shattering event in the terror wars.

Rese�a del editor

September 11, 2012: Hundreds of fanatics from Al Qaeda’s Shariah Brigade descend on the American Embassy compound in Benghazi, Libya, in a meticulously timed, flawlessly staged nighttime assault that resulted in the brutal murder of the U.S. Ambassador to Libya, J. Christopher Stevens. In its sheer audacity alone, the attack was a shattering pronouncement that America’s enemies will take every opportunity to spill innocent blood for their cause.

But why was the Embassy such a vulnerable target? Who was responsible for safeguarding the ambassador and why couldn’t they come to his aid? How could the terrorists’ plan be allowed to succeed in an era when our foreign agencies should be more protected than ever before?

While fundamental questions like these have gone unanswered by the Obama administration, the outrage of so many Americans at Ambassador Stevens’s death has only deepened in the year since the Benghazi siege.

At last, the events surrounding that dark and desperate night come to light in a gripping, moment-by-moment narrative from the only man in a position to tell the full story. Sergeant Morgan Jones, who headed the Embassy’s security detail for six months in 2012, goes behind the scenes to reveal:

� The Embassy’s secret access that no one but Jones knew about—and that allowed him entry as the savage firefight raged on

� Jones’s discovery of the murdered ambassador’s body and his confirmation that the killing was indeed targeted and sadistically brutal

� The State Department’s rotation system that left Embassy security sorely understaffed with a small, new team in place on the night of the attack

� The enemies’ undetected reconnaissance and how they crafted a seamless assault that simultaneously cut off any possible outside assistance

� How the Embassy’s key armed security detail was made up of a local militia closely allied to Al Qaeda

� How those Americans serving at the Embassy repeatedly asked for more U.S. forces, more firepower and physical defenses, but were repeatedly denied such protection

. . . and more fascinating military and strategic detail, rendered in “you are there” authenticity. The Embassy House is a must-read for those seeking answers that authors and journalists have been unable to provide— because, unlike Sergeant Morgan Jones, they were not eyewitnesses to this shattering event in the terror wars.
