This is a factual account of the hunt, kill, and counter-kill of the leaders of Arab terrorism after the Munich Olympic massacre by a group called Black September. Perhaps due to the account being a true event renders the effort of this book in relating those facts impossible to be as compelling as a spy/counterterrorism novel. The write does a fine job of relaying the stories but there is a lack of tension and suspense that should keep us on the edge of our seats, especially since these are true events. Still it is an interesting read of an historical event and how it has helped to shape the current events involving the Middle East and the world we know today. The events are emphasized more than the later historical effects. ( )
