*By the historical consultant to the foremost motion picture Seven Days to Entebbe*

The definitive account of one of the crucial greatest Special Forces missions ever, the Raid of Entebbe, by acclaimed military historian Saul David.
On June 27, 1976, an Air France flight from Tel Aviv to Paris used to be hijacked by a group of Arab and German terrorists who demanded the discharge of 53 terrorists. The plane used to be forced to divert to Entebbe, in Uganda–ruled by the murderous despot Idi Amin, who had little interest in intervening.
Days later, Israeli commandos disguised as Ugandan soldiers assaulted the airport terminal, killed the entire terrorists, and rescued the entire hostages but three who were killed within the crossfire. The assault force suffered only one fatality: its commander, Yoni Netanyahu (brother of Israel’s current Prime Minister.) Three of the rustic’s greatest leaders: Ehud Barak, Shimon Peres and Yitzhak Rabin planned and pulled off probably the most astonishing military operations in history.
