About This Book

This is a detailed chronicle of a team of Mossad hit men dispatched to assassinate 11 Israeli-identified "terrorists" in an "eye-for-an-eye" payback for the murder of 11 Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics. It gives a vivid portrait of the *sabra* vs. European immigrant class distinctions, as well as the descent into extra-judicial killings over the course of their assignment. It can also be classfied as "True Crime," due to the painfully precise descriptions of spycraft and weapons.
