Description

“This is a thriller; a page-turner; a probing look into the inner workings of the assassination squads that Israel mobilized after the Munich massacre.”–David K. Shipler; Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Arab and Jew“Gratitude is due to Mr. Klein for his painstaking . . . book; the best one could possibly hope for.”–Walter Lacquer; The Wall Street JournalAward-winning journalist Aaron J. Klein tells; for the first time; the complete story of the 1972 Munich Olympics massacre and the Israeli counterterrorism operation it spawned. With unprecedented access to Mossad agents and an unparalleled knowledge of Israeli intelligence; Klein peels back the layers of myth and misinformation that have permeated previous books; films; and magazine articles about the “shadow war” against Black September and other related terrorist groups. In this riveting account; long-held secrets are finally revealed; including who was killed and who was not; how it was done; which targets were hit and which were missed.

By illuminating the tactical and strategic purposes of the Israeli operation; Striking Back allows us to draw profoundly relevant lessons from one of the most important counterterrorism campaigns in history.“[Klein] makes it clear why [the Munich attacks were] a pivotal event in the evolution of global terrorism.” –Janet Maslin; The New York Times“A drama-filled look at the murders and Israeli reprisals.”–Billy Heller; New York Post (“Required Reading”)“A real thriller that will unnerve as much as it captivates.”–Laurence Washington; Rocky Mountain News
