This is a gripping account of the famous operation in Entebbe,
Uganda on 4 July 1976. While the nation of Israel, and Jews
throughout the world, struggle with the painful realities of the
current Intifada, Yoni's Last Battle by Iddo Netanyahu returns to
an earlier chapter of the Arab-Israeli struggle -- to a time when
the battles were more clear-cut, and genuine heroes led the charge.
The date was 4 July 1976. While millions of Americans celebrated
the 200th anniversary of their independence, thirty of Israel's
elite commandos flew 2,000 miles to Entebbe, Uganda, under the
cover of darkness, in a desperate attempt 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 daring operation. Virtually the entire group of
hostages was liberated and returned safely to Israel, but Yoni was
killed in the operation that was described by the New York Times as
having "no precedent in military history". In extraordinary detail,
Dr Iddo Netanyahu -- Yoni's youngest brother, and also brother to
former Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin (Bibi) Netanyahu --
reconstructs events to portray a minute-to-minute chronicle of one
of the earliest and most spectacular victories in the modern war
against terrorism. Based on interviews with almost every member of
the operation, Yoni's Last Battle is a fascinating and first-hand
account of the intense 48-hour period of planning and preparation
of the mission, and its near-perfect execution in extremely
difficult circumstances. This is also an intriguing portrayal of
Yoni himself, who at the age of 30, was the brilliant and heroic
commander of a courageous and daring mission.
