Roman Augustoviz of Star Tribune wrote, "'13 Hours' is a jarring narrative at times, but well-flowing. It dwells mostly on the six security operators, who they were, how they prepared for their jobs and how they reacted in a crisis and depended on one another."Augustoviz Roman Review: '13 Hours: The Inside Account of What Really Happened in Benghazi,' by Mitchell Zuckoff, and 'The Hand That Feeds You,' by A.J.

Altschuler of The Boston Globe commented, "Zuckoff focuses on the Benghazi security men... 13 Hours is a suspenseful (and often violent) account of their competence and courage, written with the hope that their actions will be "understood on their own terms, outside of partisan or political interests."Altschuler Glenn C.
