Editorial Review

Product Description
At the time of the hostage-taking, the 1972 Munich Olympic Games were well into their 2nd week and there was a joyous mood. The West German Olympic Organising Committee had encouraged an open and friendly atmosphere in the Olympic Village to help erase memories of the militaristic image of wartime Germany, and, specifically, of the 1936 Berlin Olympics, which had been exploited by Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler for propaganda purposes. The documentary film One Day in September claims that security in the athletes' village was intentionally lax and that athletes often came and went from the village without presenting proper identification. Many athletes bypassed security checkpoints and climbed over the chain-link fence surrounding the village.
The absence of armed security guards had worried Israeli delegation head Shmuel Lalkin even before his team arrived in Munich. In later interviews with journalists Serge Groussard and Aaron Klein, Lalkin said that he had also expressed concern with the relevant authorities about his team's lodgings. They were housed in a relatively isolated part of the Olympic Village, in a small building close to a gate, which he felt made his team particularly vulnerable to an outside assault. ... Read more

1-0 out of 5 stars DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR CASH!!!!!!!!!!!
Written as a thesis, it's amazing that his Professor didn't giver him an 'F' and then toss this poorly written pamphlet into the trash bin.Very disjointed and repetitive for something that purports to be 'the true story of the Israeli response and the development of independent covert action teams'.There is nothing new or informative here.If you do order it, don't set to much time aside to read it.I opened the cover soon after boarding my flight and I was done with it before we went wheeels up.Maybe 20-25 minutes at the most.At least it put me into an almost comatose state for the rest of the flight.

5-0 out of 5 stars A Great Book on the FACTS behind the Munich events and
the Israeli/Mossad response that followed. The fictional story of the reteliation of the rogue/freelance team headed by Avner is sexy and great for a movie but it had precious little history behind it. This book tells you the true story and it analyses, dissects an makes sense of the birth of independent covert teams that todays terrorists namely Al Quada mimics. The author is a professional soldier/marine so his account and views are highly regarded as expert analysis on terror cells. ... Read more
