Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 10
Ten years after an attack on the US diplomatic mission in Benghazi killed Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans, cries of "Benghazi!" still echo across America. But instead of a landmark event to be taken seriously, it has become a punchline, an empty word, or a code for controversy and political theatre. In this thrilling retelling, Ethan Chorin reveals Benghazi as a watershed moment in American history, one that helped create the world America lives in today: polarized, fearful, and dangerously unstable.

Mildly interesting

I picked up this book after realizing I had very little knowledge of the Benghazi attack and hoped it would explain its importance. This book did that. Unfortunately, I did find it a little tough to follow at times, given the heavy use of acronyms and names that were difficult for me to remember. I appreciate the author’s concerns and criticisms of the way things work in today’s political landscape. Better said, the way things don’t work. Moreover, I unflinchingly applaud Chris Stevens for his pursuit of humanity and peace.
