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 night-time assault resulting 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 blood for their cause. Why was the Embassy such a vulnerable target? Who was responsible for safeguarding Amb. Stevens and why didn't they come to his aid? How could the terrorists’ plan be allowed to succeed when our foreign agencies should be more protected? Fundamental questions are left unanswered by the Obama admin. and the outrage concerning Stevens’ death has deepened in the year since the siege. At last, the events on that dark desperate night are told in this gripping chronicle from the only man in position to expose the full story. Sergeant Morgan Jones, who headed the Embassy’s security detail for six months in 2012, reveals: the embassy’s secret access that no one but Jones knew about whih allowed him entry as the savage firefight raged; Jones’s discovery of the ambassador’s body and his confirmation that the killing was targeted and brutal; the State Department’s rotation that left security severely understaffed with a new small team that night; the undetected reconnaissance and how they crafted an assault that cut off any outside assistance; how key security used local militia allied to Al Qaeda; and, how those serving at the embassy repeatedly asked for more U.S. forces, more firepower and defenses, and were repeatedly denied. Presented here is fascinating military and strategic detail rendered with eyewitness authenticity. A must for those seeking answers as Sergeant Morgan Jones was actually on site for this shattering tragedy.313 pages. Insured post. Size: 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" Tall.…
