Synopsis:

Few s have been as internationally notorious - or as deadly as "The Red Prince." That was the nickname of Ali Han Salameh, a Palestinian who oversaw the Black September Organization from 1970 until his by car bomb in 1979. Salameh masterminded the 1972 hijacking of Sabena flight 572 to Tel Aviv, killing 27 tourists at Israel's Lod airport, and the of the Israeli athletes at the Olympic Games in Munich. In 1973, he organized the of the American and Saudi ambadors in Sudan. The Red Prince's story is also that of General Aharon "Arale" Yariv, Golda Meir's choice to run Israel's counterterrorism response, and of Zvi Zamir, the head of the Mossad, Israel's intelligence unit. As The Quest for The Red Prince unfolds, Zamir and Yariv orchestrate a series of daring cross-border inations, picking off Black September members one by one, chasing down Salameh until a final reckoning in Beirut. The Quest for The Red Prince does more than catalog the awful crimes of a , and Israel's search for a way to end his reign: it authoritatively recounts the history of one of the central conflicts of our time - the Palestinian-Israeli struggle. (6 x 9, 248 pages, b&w photos) Michael Bar-Zohar's previous books include a biography of Ben Gurion and a history of the Israeli Secret Services. Eitan Haber is an Israeli journalist and coauthor of a book about the raid at Entebbe.

Few terrorists have been as internationally notorious - or as deadly as "The Red Prince."
