reviewed on + 15 more book reviews
Helpful Score: 1


Fascinating history of the massacre of Israeli athletes at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich by Palestinian terror group Black September and the subsequent hunt by the Mossad for their killers. The story as presented is surprisingly nuanced and makes clear the political motivation driving each side.
