STRIKING BACK The 1972 Munich Olympics and Israel's Deadly Response

STRIKING BACK is a gut-wrenching examination of the 1972 Munich Olympics, in which 11 Israeli athletes were murdered by Palestinian members of the Black September terrorist group. It offers new insights and a surprisingly objective and candid examination of Israel’s efforts to eliminate the perpetrators of this tragedy. Stefan Rudnicki’s narration accentuates Aaron Klein’s riveting text. When discussing the events in Munich, Rudnicki reads with palpable revulsion at the bungling and indifference of the German government before, during, and after the massacre. Changing gears, Rudnicki’s voice percolates with outrage and disbelief when Klein reveals how Israel’s longstanding campaign for revenge has at times resulted in the deaths of innocent people.
