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.

Revisado: 05-12-23
Libya is a confusing, politically toxic mess to most onlookers. Yet, the chaos was not unforeseeable. Chorin's book examines this foreign policy failure from the inside in a way that nobody else has to date.
Unlike those who can only write on the subject from third-party research - or worse yet, are only interested in parochial US political point-scoring - Chorin reflects on his first-hand experience of the tragic events of September 11th 2012 to thoughtfully derive essential lessons about what went wrong and why.
The book is personal and gripping, but also analytical, fair-minded and sober in its reflections on that awful night. As someone with a personal connection to Libya, I have not read anything like it in the English language. If you are interested in Libya since 2011, or in American foreign policy more broadly, this is essential reading.
