When Green Beret Bryan Black was killed in an ambush in Niger in 2017, his wife Michelle saw her worst nightmare become a reality. She was left alone with her grief and with two young sons to raise. But what followed Bryan's death was an even more difficult journey for the young widow. After receiving very few details about the attack that took her husband's life, it was up to Michelle to find answers. It became her mission to learn the truth about that day in Niger--and her book, Sacrifice, is the result of that mission. After interviewing the survivors of a deadly ambush, it became clear to Michelle that the deaths of her husband and several soldiers were avoidable – mistakes were made. This Gold Star widow is on a quest to learn the truth about her husband's death, but military officials refuse to provide details. In the process, she has learned that there are careers being protected by masking the truth. As a result, Michelle has written the book Sacrifice: A Gold Star Widow's Fight for the Truth, in an effort to bring attention to the inconsistent lies of the military and the challenges in learning the real facts.
