Summary
In the 1970s and 1980s, Prague became a favorite destination for the world's most prominent terrorists and revolutionaries. They arrived here to seek refuge, enjoy recreation, or hold secret meetings. While some were welcome with open arms, others were closely watched and were eventually ousted.
Watching the Jackals is the untold history of Czechoslovakia's complex relations with Middle Eastern terrorists and revolutionaries during the closing decades of the Cold War. Richterova unveils the story of Prague's engagement with various factions of the Palestine Liberation Organization, along with some of the era's most infamous terrorists. In this gripping account, Richterova explains why 'Cold War Jackals' gravitated toward Prague and how the country's leaders reacted to their visits, and she uncovers the role Czechoslovakia's security and intelligence apparatus—the StB played in these, at times, dangerous liaisons.
Drawing on interviews and detailed records from the former Czechoslovakia (now the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic), Richterova offers listeners interested in the intelligence world a fascinating account of how states use their spies to pursue covert policies with violent nonstate actors. The book also introduces new evidence and nuances into old debates about whether the Communist Bloc supported terrorism.
