Book Reviews of Vengeance: The True Story of an Israeli Counter-Terrorist Team
Book Review: "True" or not...a great read
Summary: 5 Stars
Jonas makes it very clear in the foreward of this book that much of the story cannot be verified independently. He does his best to remind the reader throughout the book that this is one man's story and that the author has done alot of research to verify as much as possible. Clandestine operations such as the Israeli Counter terrorist team's work by definition would be difficult to independently confirm.
I was thrilled at Jonas' perspective throughout his book. He makes it clear that he is a strong supporter of Israel and recognizes the difference between Palestinian terrorism and Israeli counter-terrorist executions of the murderers. This is more than most news organizations today are willing to do. Jonas knows that referring to Arab terrorists as "guerrillas", "militants" or "fighters" demonstrates the bias against Israel. He makes clear that they are murderers and that the legitimate execution of murderers is acceptable. He also recognizes that this necessary defensive work takes a toll on those required to do it. This book is their story - and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
