Striking Back: The 1972 Munich Olympics Massacre and Israel’s Deadly Response Audiobook (Free)

1972. The Munich Olympics. Palestinian members of the Dark September group murder eleven Israeli athletes. Nine hundred million people view the problems unfold on television, witnessing a tragedy that inaugurates the modern age of terror.

Back in Israel, Prime Minister Golda Meir vows to locate those responsible and, in Menachem Begin’s terms, “work these criminals and murderers off the facial skin of the planet earth.” A key Mossad unit is certainly mobilized, a summary of targets used. Thus starts the Israeli response, a mission that unfolds not over a few months but over decades. The Mossad has never spoken about this operation. No-one has known the true story, until now.

In this riveting account, Aaron Klein peels back levels of misconception and misinformation about the “shadow war” against Black September and other terrorist groups.
