"One Day in September carefully depicts what happened at the 1972 Munich Olympics and the aftermath revenge attacks carried out under Israel's orders.
Reeve is sensitive to all sides of the story, although obviously the book is biased towards the murdered athletes. He does however give the Palestine's a voice to be heard and does not paint Israel to be just victims of a terrible act of terrorism.
I wasn't born during that time (being only 23) and so for me it is interesting to read about the thing that really started it all off. This is a good book to begin with and Reeve's style of writing is very engaging.
I would like to read more on this subject, rather then just having to watch the depressing stories as portrayed on the news."
"An absolutely spectacular account of journalism that covers the 1972 Munich Olympic hostage situation with such a keen eye towards all things that went wrong and how they could have changed to make the outcome of the crisis come out with everyone alive. In the end, it's a fascinating read and certainly worth the time."
"While waiting to read Vengeance: The True Story of an Israeli Counter-Terrorist Team by George Jonas, I found a couple of books to sate my thirst for knowledge about the Munich Massacre, One Day in September is one of them. Written with more personality than Striking Back and with more filler material, nonetheless, I am still waiting for the definitive book on the subject which is supposed to be available to me from the Plano Public Library on or about April 15, 2008. The subject matter is a fascinating step-stone toward understanding terror and politics in the middle-east."
"A gripping account, and very detailed, of the Israeli athlete hostage crisis at the Munich Olympics. A somewhat scathing review of German police at the time. Overall, I would recommend to anyone interested in history."
