I debated for awhile on whether or not I wanted to include this book in February or not since the movie has already come out, but decided to go ahead anyway. Personally I do not like to watch movies before reading the book since I lose all motivation. So, I'm going to wait. I think reading it first will be beneficial due to the amount of detail.
What inspired me most about reading this book was meeting Kris "Tanto" Paranto at the Southern Division Conference for the Republican Women Federated. Hearing him tell his story was wonderful. Everyone listening was glued to every word. It's amazing what ordeals our soldiers have to go through. We should all appreciate the fact that they are willing to put their lives on the line for our freedom. Then, meeting him and talking with him in person, you could quickly see what a great guy this man was.
For those unfamiliar with the story of 13 Hours, it's based on the true account of the brave men who fought back in the battle of Benghazi. "Tanto" is one of the soldiers who lived to tell the story about what happened that memorable day, and of how Hillary Clinton abandoned her men.
13 Hours was written by author/writer Mitchell Zuckoff who was an investigative reporter for The Boston Globe and is now a Professor at Boston University. Since Zuckoff wrote the book, he and the soldiers mentioned have faced some criticism from Hillary's campaign team, mainly because the true account does not depict her in a good light.
Without going into too much detail, there is no way anyone would regret reading this story of heroism.
