a book by Brian J Tally that tells the story of his journey as a United States Marine Corps Veteran who became a victim of VA medical malpractice. After suffering from gross negligence in a VA hospital, Tally found himself facing numerous physical, emotional, and mental hardships. Despite these challenges, he drafted legislation to address the issue and delivered it to the steps of the Capitol Building in Washington DC, urging lawmakers to change the outdated law that had denied veterans rightful compensation due to medical negligence. The Tally Bill was eventually passed, eliminating a 72-year-old legal loophole that the VA had used against veterans. 

The Vietnam War has tormented American consciousness for more than half a hundred years and shows no sign of flagging. Up-Close & Personal is a signal contribution to understanding that drawn-out conflict from a soldier's point of view, informed by knowledge gained from being “up-close” at the basic, ground-pounding, or river-patrolling combat level. The author pulls no punches. Detail is uncompromising, hard, and often excruciating. All this amid the tumult of politicized youth on the home front shouting "Make love not War" and "Tune in drop out." Drugs, sex, and blind resistance to authority exported their rot to the military in Vietnam. Morale collapsed. Army leadership went adrift along with its management of the war. 1969-1970, the era covered by this book, was the nadir. That the stalwarts who dubbed themselves "Bushwhackers" were actually Military Police assigned an infantry role -- and thus unique in US military history -- makes the tale all the more compelling.

13 HOURS presents, for the first time ever, the true account of the events of September 11, 2012, when terrorists attacked the US State Department Special Mission Compound and a nearby CIA station called the Annex in Benghazi, Libya.

A team of six American security operators fought to repel the attackers and protect the Americans stationed there. Those men went beyond the call of duty, performing extraordinary acts of courage and heroism, to avert tragedy on a much larger scale. This is their personal account, never before told, of what happened during the thirteen hours of that now-infamous attack.
