I saw the author last weekend on CSPAN 2. CSPAN 2 becomes BookTV on the weekend and specialize in non-fiction politics and history. Schedule at:

He describes how Iran was behind the consulate attack having paid off the brigade we had hired to protect the consulate. He says that Iranian Revolutionary Guard actually went into the buildings and did the dirty work.
Lays the initiation of the video demonstration cover-up on Clinton and then Obama for running with the story.
Obama AWOL during the incident.
Author lists all of the attacks on US assets and embassies laid at the feet of the Iranians since 1978. Says Iran has constantly been at war with the US. And what do we do about them developing the nukes? Nada.
Iranians led this attack because they didn't want stinger missiles getting to rebels in Syria. They back Assad.
Timmerman was a defense and middle east correspondent and has run unsuccessfully as a conservative republican for congress in Maryland.

Speaking at Horowitz's organization luncheon in LA.
(Excerpt) Read more at amazon.com ...
Aren’t all these actions by Iran acts of war.
Yes.
Resistance by our leaders and politicians to calling it war.
Iranians behind Khobar Towers attack and killing of marines.
Iran has made no mistake of their goals and we turn a blind eye.
sorry, my word.
Q Why din’t we use the word evil anymore?
A Americans re good decent people who largely don’t want to say evil.
However I have observed evil up close in the middle east. has to be ripped out and destroyed.
Horowitz acknowledges and thanx Timmerman.
Horo ways the evil will continue until US destroys out. We should have kept base in Iraq. Can’t do much because of Obama and Repubs don’t have much spine.
If it means troops, then send them in.
Timmerman: we kept troops in Germany, Korea, and Japan. We bought two wars in Iraq and withdrew almost everyone.
We could have negotiated with Christian groups and/or the Kurds. But we did nothing.
Standing ovation.
Well it’s over. Not much of a crowd. You may be able to find a podcast of this on the CSPAN 2 BookTv web site or read the reviews I liked and maybe pick up the book.
I’ll check back later to see if any other replies.
reviews I linked
“Let me just remind you what I am saying here. This [Benghazi attack] is a state-sponsored terrorist attack, carried out by the Islamic Republic of Iran.”
The entire presentation is compelling, but for the implication of Iran, start at min 27 (same presentation as CSPAN2)
Timmerman’s book has been out for months!!! Was I the only one who missed this?
As posted upthread, 2 other threads from July on Timmerman’s book and assertions:

That makes Benghazi a thousand times stranger...
Thanks so much!
Thank you, Lucy.
Just saw him last week. Posted links to previous threads after searching.
Glad to be able to do it
Late night bump
In fact, I should be very much surprised if 2/10 Americans could find Benghazi (or their state capital) on a map. Don't blame the Democrats. They deliver what they promise: economic chaos domestically, international chaos in foreign policy. Let's pay attention to OUR team. Let's demand a
Lots to absorb here. Question: I don’t remember if he covered what the role of the Turkish Ambassador was that night?
Can’t recall he did
