Publisher's Summary

1972. The Munich Olympics. Palestinian members of the Black September group murder 11 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 the layers of myth and misinformation about the "shadow war" against Black September and other terrorist groups.

Edge of your seat thriller

Edge of your seat thriller that is hard to believe is a true story. From the beginning the reader shows that he is a master story teller. Highly recommend.

BUY THIS BOOK

One of my favourites. The narration is bliss, such a pleasurable voice to listen too.

More importantly the book is chock full of delicious factoids in perfect linear harmony which allows the reader to absorb material easily, Layered on this is the interwoven personal nuances that make the players real....and human.

Such a joy to encounter a book of this quality, depth, which allows for the foibles....but never the principles.
