This is the terrifying, gripping-sometimes touching-firsthand account of the rise of the Palestinian resistance movement from its inception to the attack on the 1972 Munich Olympics, as told by the man who masterminded that plot. Abu Daoud chose to join the resistance after witnessing the murder of family members and neighbors by Israeli commandos. Now he emerges from a 30-year silence to take an unprecedented inside look at the history of the "other side," the Palestinian side, from the founding of Israel to Munich and beyond. He offers a detailed anatomy of the resistance movement in addition to astute portraits of the Palestinian leaders of his generation, from Arafat to Abu Nidal. He gives us an unvarnished story that is essential to understanding the Middle East and that will make many Americans rethink their views on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
