Untold Story of Benghazi Includes Divine Intervention,
Hero Mark ‘Oz’ Geist Details on Every Man Show
Every Man Show hosts Kenny Luck and Anthony Dever recently had the opportunity to interview real-life Benghazi hero Mark Geist, who also co-authored the book 13 Hours: The Inside Account Of What Really Happened In Benghazi, which later became the basis for a movie.
Geist, who was contracted by the U.S. to help protect diplomatic personnel inside Libya, not only gave the show hosts a detailed account of the Battle of Benghazi in which he was hit and wounded by three different IEDs landing within 15 feet of him, but shares how his survival and that of others could only be described as divine intervention by God.
Geist, known by his fellow warriors as “Oz,” gave remarkable details of the battle from his perspective, one that includes being part of the Global Response Staff (GRS) that was told to “stand down.” While Oz and the team were unable to save the lives of U.S. Ambassador to Libya J. Christopher Stevens and three others, many lives were saved on the night members of Ansar al-Sharia attacked the American diplomatic compound and CIA annex in Benghazi.
