Simon & Schuster has pulled Dylan Davies‘ new book on Benghazi after new information has called into question the book’s credibility.
Politico has the scoop:
“In light of information that has been brought to our attention since the initial publication of The Embassy House, we have withdrawn from publication and sale all formats of this book, and are recommending that booksellers do the same,” Threshold Edition spokesperson Jennifer Robinson said in a statement. “We also are notifying accounts that they may return the book to us.”
Davies was the source of the controversial “60 Minutes” Benghazi report, which 60 Minutes has admitted was inaccurate.
New York Times reporter who covers book publishing Julie Bosman tweeted that the publisher is recalling books.

Must be all sold out. You can still fish the page out of Google's wastebasket. When I linked, it listed only third-party (non-Amazon) sellers and did not offer an electronic edition. It also had a 2.6-star rating, with more 1-star than 5-star reviews.
Googling for the ISBN currently coughs up 664 hits. E.g., it appears that the Washington County (Oregon) Library System has three copies ...
It's always fun to watch idiots clean up internet spills.
