Has anyone read the Benghazi book "Under Fire" by Fred Burton & Samuel Katz? [View all]

Forget about that now-retracted book by the guy interviewed on 60 Minutes. Instead, I finished an excellent, reality-based, non-politicized book Under Fire: The Untold Story of the Attack on Bernghazi by Fred Burton and Samuel Katz. One big part of the book, as Media Matters highlights, debunks the myth perpetuated in right wing media that "there could have been a larger and faster military response or that resources were intentionally withheld from those under fire in Libya." As the authors note:

There was never a question concerning U.S. resolve or the overall capabilities of the U.S. military to respond to Benghazi. There was, however, nothing immediate about an immediate response. There were logistics and host-nation approvals to consider. An immediate response was hampered by the equation of geography and logistics.
