Summary
A CIA officer's inside account of how Libya's descent into rampant violence precipitated the harrowing overland evacuation of the entire US mission from Tripoli after being trapped in the city for weeks.

But few know what happened next in Libya. While said controversy in Washington subsided, the volatility in Libya escalated - threatening the brave men and women who remained behind to continue the US mission.
In this dramatic retelling of dangerous attacks threatening the US mission in Tripoli, Libya - less than two years after Benghazi - American valor and courage prevailed.

In the midst of it all, the intelligence and determination of one woman with unwavering faith played a pivotal role in saving them all....

Gripping story
Interesting, insider account which taught me a lot. Inevitably you get a pretty one-sided view, but that's to be expected. Overall spoiled for me by the narrator's habit of going into a much lower register when male characters are speaking. For me, this sounds ridiculous (and phoney) and it isn't necessary, but it seems to be a trend amongst narrators nowadays. On a par, irritation-wise, with male readers mimicking women. But I finished the book and I enjoyed its authenticity.
