The Hit Team: Unprecedented Inside Story of a Top Secret Israeli Anti-Terrorist Squad

Plot

This book is a great journalistic effort that details how an israeli Mossad team carried a series of assasinations in Europe in 1973 against the Black September terrorists that participated and masterminded the attack that killed 11 israeli athletes during the 1972 Olympic games in Munich, Germany.

Although some experts on the subject say that it contains some factual errors this is understandable if we take into account that the book was first published in 1976, just three years after the events took place. Despite the errors and due to its prompt publication the book served as reference for other authors that published more recent works.

This book does not tell the whole story just by itself because when Israel carried out the operation against the members of Black September in 1973 the Mossad had commissioned numerous teams with different methods of operation. However, this is a good tool to get an idea on how the Mossad operated and still operates undercover in Europe. But remeber, this is just the tip of the iceberg.
