not for the faint of heart. It's about the 1972 Munich Olympics massacre, where a group of Palestinian terrorists took Israeli athletes hostage and eventually killed them. Reeve takes us through the events leading up to the attack, the attack itself, and the aftermath. And let me tell you, it's intense. But Reeve writes it in such a way that you can't help but be drawn in. He's got a real talent for storytelling. So, if you're looking for a heart-pumping, nail-biting read, "One Day in September" is your book. Just make sure you have a stiff drink nearby. Cheers!… (más)

I didnt find this book particularly well written, but the story is fascinating. Another case of reality being stranger than fiction. The fact that it takes place 40 years ago and chronicles a conflict that if anything is sharper now than it was then is deeply disturbing.

Such a fascinating read. I can't say I was gripped from beginning to end as I became a little lost in some of the political situations between Israel and Palestine. However, for someone who really knows very little about the surrounding unrest between the two it is an accessible account of the 1972 olympic games and the 30 years following the event.

I went through a range of emotions whilst reading this, disbelief and shock at the German involvement regarding the hostages and then saddness for the families of everyone involved. Well worth a read and one I will recommend.… (más)
