In May 1970 aerial photographs revealed what US military intelligence believed was a POW camp near the town of Son Tay, 23 miles west of North Vietnam's capital city. When American officials decided the prisoners were attempting to send signals, they set in motion a daring plan to rescue the more than 60 airmen thought to be held captive. On November 20 a joint group of volunteers from US Army Green Berets and US Air Force Special Operations Forces perfectly executed the raid, only to find the prisoners' quarters empty; the POWs had been moved.

Am 18. Oktober 1977 wurde in der Wüste Somalias ein deutscher Mythos geboren: Auf dem Flughafen von Mogadischu befreite die GSG9 aus einer entführten Lufthansa-Maschine 86 Menschen. Es war der erste große Einsatz der Antiterroreinheit, und er machte sie schlagartig weltbekannt. 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.
