Summary
The book’s first chapter provides background information about Operation Wrath of God, the Black September organisation, and the Club de Berne. This sets the scene and provides an understanding of the historical and political context in which the events described in the book take place. For instance, understanding how Operation Wrath of God was organised will later help explain ways in which European intelligence was useful to Mossad to carry out its assassinations.
