Israel’s Lightning Strike

The Raid on Entebbe 1976

The Israeli Special Forces’ operation at Entebbe has gone down in history as one of the most audacious counter-terrorist assaults ever conducted. When a passenger jet was hijacked and diverted to Entebbe, Uganda, the Israeli government immediately began to plan a military assault to free the hostages. As the evidence mounted that Idi Amin was assisting the terrorists, the Israeli’s launched their offensive.
This is the incredible story of how the Israeli Special Forces flew under radar for over 2,000 miles, masqueraded as Idi Amin himself, and defeated a much larger force in brutal combat in a triumph of sheer daring and nerve. A compelling book chronicling an incredible moment in history.
