Black September -- Assault on 31 Connollystrasse -- Negotiating a release -- Planning a rescue -- Massacre at the airport -- After the disaster.
The hostage crisis at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, Germany, took the world by surprise. This book recreates the suspense of that time by recounting the story step by step--the Israeli athletes who were taken hostage, the demands of the Black September terrorist organization, Germany's botched attempts at saving the hostages, and the disastrous showdown at the airport. In this age of high security, readers will be shocked to learn about the lack of preparedness on the part of Olympic and German officials.
