fascinating account of one of the opening
battles in the current jihad."Zev Chafets, author of

the New Israel
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 responsea mission that unfolds
not over months but over decades. The Mossad has never

against
Black September and other terrorist groups.
