I really liked the chapters about the Munich Olympics Massacre, they were both informative and gripping. However only 13 of the 35 chapters are about that event, the rest covering Israel's assassination and counter-terrorism programs. Not even assassinations related to Munich, simply how the Munich Massacre acted as the catalyst for Israel's decades-long assassination program. This aspect of the book didn't interest me, so the post-Munich chapters quickly became tedious. If the author had focused in solely on the Munich Massacre it would have been a solid 5 stars.
