Book Reviews of One Day in September: The Full Story of the 1972 Munich Olympics Massacre and the Israeli Revenge Operation "Wrath of God"

Book Review: Good read - lots of information
Summary: 4 Stars

Well researched but irritating sometimes, as many reviewers have noted, for the moral equivalence stance.

In addition to the gross incompetence shown by the Germans trying to make the situation go away, some of the words used (i.e. murder) to describe Israeli actions grated on my nerves. One point made early in the book, and still true today, was the culpability of neighboring Arab countries in the Palestinian situation..."Confining the Palestinians to camps actually suited many regional governments...Far better to keep them in squalor near their homeland and foster their fighting spirit."

Overall it is a good read containing lots of information on the Munich massacre.
