The Munich Massacre: How the 1972 Olympics Turned into a Tragic Hostage CrisisExplore the chilling story of the Munich Massacre at the 1972 Olympics, where Palestinian militants took Israeli athletes hostage in a tragedy that changed Olympic security forever. Discover the full timeline, the failed rescue attempt, and its lasting impact on global sports.

Three people living in Tel Aviv, Haifa, and Jerusalem embark on distinct journeys that converge at "the file"; their efforts to admit Palestine to the Olympics in the early 20th century. Their pivotal roles in history have been purposely omitted from official record, kept secret, or forgotten. Why? Because of the "Nazi Olympics" in 1936 in Berlin. And because of the death in 1972 of eleven Israeli Olympic athletes in the Munich Massacre. This book narrates the previously untold history of a Palestine Olympic Committee recognized before the creation of the State of Israel in 1948.
