Has anyone read this extraordinary account about the Israeli hit team sent
to avenge the 1972 Munich Massacre?  

The book gives detailed insight into the world of counter-terrorism (and
thereby terrorism itself), and should be read by anyone interested in the
subject.

I welcome any discussion pertaining to the book, especially its validity.
Though not familiar with any other works by Mr. Jonas, I found the account
believable and accurate in the most minute of details.  If anyone has
a comment on Jonas' background (or previous works) to support - or refute -
his competence in writing this book, I would be most interested.

And perhaps a discussion on the subject matter of the book itself (especially
the fascinating ending of betrayal): the difficulties in fighting international
terror, and the psychological profile of those involved in this venture.
