Summary
In Love and Terror, the second William Herrick novel published by New Directions, the author's interest does not lie in tension-filled heroics but in the human cost of flawed idealism. The situation is as familiar as a recent newscast - the Tel Aviv-Paris air shuttle has been hijacked by German and Arab terrorists. Will Israeli commandos mount a raid? Who will survive? Questions such as these, so integral to the typical thriller, are irrelevant here.
