1972. The Munich Olympics. Palestinian members of the Black September group murder eleven Israeli athletes. Nine hundred million people watch the crisis unfold on television, witnessing a tragedy
that inaugurates the modern age of terror.
Back in Israel, Prime Minister Golda Meir vows to track down those responsible and, in Menachem Begin’s words, “run these criminals and murderers off the face of the earth.” A secret Mossad unit is
mobilized, a list of targets drawn up. Thus begins the Israeli response, a mission that unfolds not over months but over decades. The Mossad has never spoken about this operation. No one has known
the real story, until now.
In this riveting account, Aaron Klein peels back layers of myth and misinformation about the “shadow war” against Black September and other terrorist groups.
Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“This is a thriller, a page-turner, a probing look into the inner workings of the assassination squads that Israel mobilized after the Munich massacre.” —David K. Shipler, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Arab and Jew
“Gratitude is due to Mr. Klein for his painstaking…book, the best one could possibly hope for.” —Wall Street Journal
“Told in remarkable detail…Klein’s account is well researched and highly valuable…a necessary read for anyone interested in Israeli history and politics as well as the birth of modern counter-terrorism.” —Publishers Weekly
“A real thriller that will unnerve as much as it captivates.” —Rocky Mountain News
“Gut-wrenching…offers new insights and a surprisingly objective and candid examination…Rudnicki reads with palpable revulsion at the bungling and indifference of the German government…[his] voice percolates with outrage and disbelief when Klein reveals how Israel’s longstanding campaign for revenge has at times resulted in the deaths of innocent people.” —AudioFile
