I am currently reading this book for the third time in two years. Having found McDonalds film engrossing I was surprised to find the book of the same title considering it had been a few years in print. Reeves book goes deeper than the film and at the same lively pace. His sources always seem credible, I was particularly impressed with his sources from old East German Stasi files giving minute details of negotiations and proceedings. Reeves portrayal is intelligent,fair and chilling. The book is a fantastic accompaniment to the film yet can stand entirely in its own right. This book takes worthy pride on my bookshelf and will do for a long time to come.

This book reveals some interesting insights on what took place at the Munich Olympics when palestinian terrorists struck at the israeli athletes.
And also perhaps more importantly what the reaction or lack of from the german police may have contributed to the fatal events even more on this day.
So to resume a very interesting book on this subject, well written with some unexpected things revealed.

Excellent! Don't bother with the inadequate film representations of this story... Simon Reeve's work is well-written, thoroughly researched, sensitive and enthralling.
