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.

I was a little too young to remember the Munich Massacre, so after this book, I also rented a documentary of the event.
There is so much good stuff in here, it's hard to know where to start.
The details of the hostage taking and the unbelievable response of the German Special forces were not only fascinating, but very troubling as well.
The author maintains his neutrality well. He portrayal of the German Special Forces is balanced with the story of the operatives who killed the wrong person (and went to jail for it). Hard to believe that some of this stuff really happened.
The one story that sticks with me is the one that really got the Israelis in trouble in France, when they took out a terrorist (while being very careful not to kill his wife and child) in a rather unorthodox way - something I didn't realize was possible at that time.
Another highlight is the "Chocolate" story - how the Israelis got to one of the terrorists living in Iraq.
VERY GOOD BOOK! I've probably listed to over 100 audiobooks, and this is one of my favorites! Highly recommend!
One of the Best! Absolutely Fantastic!

Perhaps the most surprising thing about the Munich massacre is the severe incompetence of the German authorities during the hostage crisis and leading up to the massacre, and even in the years after the massacre. They refused to admit any wrongdoing whatsoever. The incompetence is described using numerous examples.
Stefan Rudnicki's gravelly, overly serious narration is certainly adequate enough, although sometimes it sounds as though he's got cotton balls in his mouth.
If you particularly enjoy police procedurals, this book has enough detail to keep you interested for a while.

Excellent Story!

The reality is that even the vaunted Mossad was shockingly ineffective and on occasion downright inept. So if the Mossad is approximately the best in the world at this, but still not very good at it, it says something profound about the task.
It would seem that you can use terror against the terrorists, but expecting a lot more than that from covert operations is rarely realistic. Certainly expecting them to "fix" the terrorist problem is dangerously naive.
I found the book a little bit emotionally draining. I seemed to invest in one killing, and then another, and then another. But in many ways this seems strange, the book is neither brutal nor graphic, if anything it's roughly the opposite, slightly clinical.
