"At 4:30 A.M. on the morning of September 5, 1972, a small band of Palestinian terrorists scaled the perimeter wall of the Olympic Village in Munich, Germany. Within minutes they had invaded the apartments of the Israelis quartered at 31 Connollystrasse and taken hostage eleven athletes and coaches. Their goal: to thrust the foundering PLO cause into the world spotlight and gain the release of several hundred Arabs held prisoner by the Israelis.
In the end, fifteen people were dead: all the Israeli athletes, five of the terrorists, and one German policeman." "Based on years of exhaustive research, thousands of official documents recently released as a result of the legal demands made by the families of the murdered athletes, and hundreds of interviews with participants and survivors, One Day in September is the definitive account of one of the most devastating and politically explosive events of the late twentieth century."--BOOK JACKET.
