The 1972 Munich Olympics and the making of modern Germany / Kay Schiller and Christopher Young.

The 1972 Munich Olympics were intended to showcase the New Germany and replace lingering memories of the Third Reich. That hope was all but obliterated in the early hours of September 5, when gun-wielding Palestinians murdered eleven members of the Israeli team. In this cultural and political history of the Munich Olympics, the authors set these games into both the context of 1972 and the history of the modern Olympiad. Delving into newly available documents, they chronicle the impact of the Munich Games on West German society and deliver the first full account of one of the most significant moments in postwar German history. -- Publisher description
