Description
Yoni's Last Battle: The Rescue at Entebbe, 1976 On 4 July 1976, a daring operation took place in Entebbe, Uganda, as Israel's elite commandos attempted to rescue 105 Jewish and Israeli passengers hijacked by terrorists on an Air France flight. Lieutenant Colonel Yonatan Netanyahu, a courageous and celebrated soldier, led the mission, which would be described by the New York Times as having "no precedent in military history". In extraordinary detail, Dr Iddo Netanyahu, Yoni's youngest brother, reconstructs the events leading up to the rescue, including the intense 48-hour period of planning and preparation. Based on interviews with almost every member of the operation, this book provides a fascinating and first-hand account of the mission's near-perfect execution in extremely difficult circumstances. This gripping account offers a unique portrayal of Yoni himself, who at the age of 30, was the brilliant and heroic commander of a courageous and daring mission.
