“In the end, it wasn’t the strength of the security forces nor the resilience of the planners that would define these Olympics. It was the inescapable truth that prevention—if taken seriously in the face of growing global threats—could have spared the world from tragedy. The warnings had been clear, the risks undeniable, yet the pursuit of an idyllic vision overshadowed the grim reality lurking beneath. Munich’s dream of peace was fractured by a failure to truly reckon with the dangers at hand, and the Games, meant to transcend politics, would forever be marked by the very forces they had hoped to leave behind.”
