Massacre in Munich

How Terrorists Changed the Olympics and the World

An attack at the 1972 Munich Olympic Games would produce one of the defining images of international terrorism. The chilling photo of a hooded man peering from a balcony in the Olympic Village would be viewed worldwide as a horrific symbol of global terrorism.

The man wearing a mask with cutout slits for his eyes was a member of the Palestinian terrorist group Black September. He and his fellow terrorists had seized 11 members of the Israeli Olympic delegation and were holding them hostage. They would kill them all as the tragedy unfolded. What had been dubbed the “happy Olympics” would be forever remembered as the Munich massacre. The Olympics would never the same.

Fascinating story, intolerable recording

What happened to this recording??? At least once in every paragraph, sentences are cut off so you don't hear the end of the sentence, and the audio skips forward to something else. No way to know what was skipped. After about 20 minutes, I gave up. The original piece was probably good, but shame on Audible for posting this horrible recording.

This is not a download that is advertised. It’s incomplete. Not abridged. It’s missing what should be already paid for.

Paying for this whatever it was. Too much. Next time I know better to not read reviews first so writing this for YOU

Amazon you should be embarrassed by this product.

I remember the story, photos and TV coverage of this tragedy. This cluster in editing negates a good performance by the reader.
As the story stumbles on, it's clear the editor failed to correctly piece this story together.
If this was the first Amazon book I heard, I never would have bothered to listen to a second book from Amazon.
Listen to it and determine if this poorly sliced, rabble should be sold or even given away free.

The darkest day in Olympic history

I was 11 years old at the time of the Munich Olympics. To this day, I still remember the late Jim McKay, informing viewers “they’re all gone“ This is a nice overview of a real terrible time in Olympic history. Unfortunately, as we have seen in the events of October 2023, there does not seem to be any end to the bloodshed between the Israelis and the Palestinians..
