But why was the Embassy such a vulnerable target? Who was responsible for safeguarding the ambassador and why couldnt 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 Stevenss 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 Embassys security detail for six months in 2012, goes behind the scenes to reveal:
The Embassys secret access that no one but Jones knew aboutand that allowed him entry as the savage firefight raged on
Joness discovery of the murdered ambassadors body and his confirmation that the killing was indeed targeted and sadistically brutal
The State Departments 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 Embassys 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.
