Larly ott in the book, Reese focus-
cs pimarily ott the aims of ite
Palestinianis ini laying siege to the

that aroise chic to the poor hantdlintg

wshat (te calls a "perverse irony,"
Reeves explains Itosw "the event
made people around the world aware
of Palestittian terrorism and perhaps
degraded ite valise of the Palestinian
cautse."
Assuminmg his position as ait "out-

agontizinug aspect of te' tragedy:
Discussimug the legacy of loss antd

to the athor.
The Palestinians weete not tie only
guilty party itt 1972; altough the

at the spillittg of Jewish blood ott

local officials to effectively rescue
