Produktbeschreibung
"Entebbe Unveiled: The Israeli Military's Heroic Rescue Mission" is a gripping and detailed account of one of the most daring and successful hostage rescue operations in modern history. The book takes readers behind the scenes of the Israeli Defense Forces' (IDF) extraordinary mission to free over a hundred hostages from Entebbe Airport in Uganda in 1976. The narrative begins with a comprehensive background on the political and historical context leading up to the hijacking of Air France Flight 139 by two members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and two members of the German Revolutionary Cells. The book meticulously details the planning and execution of the mission, code-named Operation Thunderbolt (later renamed Operation Jonathan in honor of the sole Israeli commando killed during the raid, Yonatan Netanyahu), providing an in-depth look at the challenges and risks the IDF faced. Drawing on the memories from the key figures involved in the mission, declassified documents, and thorough research, "Entebbe Unveiled" reconstructs the tense seven days of the hostage situation. It provides insights into the decisions made by the Israeli government and military, the strategies devised to overcome the geographical and logistical hurdles, and the courage and resourcefulness of the commandos.
