Der jüdische Autor Ronen Steinke, selbst Jurist, ist durch Deutschland gereist und erzählt von jüdischem ­Leben, das sich immer mehr hinter Mauern zurückzieht.

Der Mythos zerbrach 16 Jahre später auf dem Bahnhof von Bad Kleinen, als die Festnahme von RAF-Mitgliedern mit zwei Toten endete, und eine Staatskrise auslöste. 50 Jahre nach ihrer Gründung erzählt Martin Herzog von den Anfängen der GSG9, von Erfolgen und Fehlschlägen, aber auch von fragwürdigen Indienstnahmen durch Außenpolitik und Geheimdienste.
