The Israeli Special Forces' operation at Entebbe goes down in history as one of the most audacious counter-terrorist assaults ever conducted. On June 27, 1976, four terrorists (two of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and two of the German Baader-Meinhof terrorist group) highjacked a passenger jet and forced a landing in Entebbe, Uganda. Here they were met by reinforcements, and transferred all the Jewish and Israeli prisoners to the terminal building, with the exception of a few hostage releases. As Idi Amin's assistance to the terrorists became increasingly clear, the Israeli government began preparations for a military assault. The element of surprise was crucial; never before had such a large-scale raid at such a long distance been successfully undertaken. This is the incredible story of how the Israeli Special Forces defied radar for over 2,000 miles, masqueraded as a tyrant in a Mercedes and captured uniforms, and defeated an army in brutal combat, culminating in a triumph of sheer audacity and nerve. A compelling book chronicling an incredible moment in history. |

Product Description:
On July 4, 1976, more than a hundred hostages, held at gunpoint in Entebbe, Uganda, were freed in a spectacular rescue operation and flown to safety in Israel, over 2000 miles away. Their captors were Arab and German terrorists, aided by the Ugandan army; their liberators were members of Israel's elite commando unit, Sayeret Matkal, simply known as "the Unit." Lt.-Col. Yoni (Jonathan) Netanyahu, the Unit's commander, earned world-wide fame in the wake of the operation's stunning success. He was the only Israeli soldier killed in the Entebbe raid. As a brother of the rescue force's commander, and himself a member of the Unit, Iddo Netanyahu had ready access to the participants in the raid. He was able to obtain detailed accounts from the men of the Unit who, for the first time, described the planning and preparations for the mission and its near-perfect execution. What emerged from their accounts is a powerful and stirring story of how the daring undertaking was accomplished after only 48 hours of frantic preparations. Yoni's Last Battle portrays the men who carried out an incredibly hazardous operation in far-away Africa. Above all, it depicts the heroic - and tragic - figure of their commander, Yoni. |

Le livre consiste d'articles Wikipedia sur : Raid D'entebbe, Aéroport International D'entebbe. Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Le raid d'Entebbe, aussi connu sous le nom Opération Entebbe ou Opération Thunderbolt, s'est déroulé dans la nuit du 3 au 4 juillet 1976, à l'aéroport international d'Entebbe en Ouganda. Il a été appelé opération tonnerre par les forces militaires israéliennes l'ayant planifiée et exécutée, et a été nommé rétroactivement opération Jonathan après la mort du colonel Jonathan Netanyahou, le seul soldat israélien tué au cours du raid. Le 27 juin 1976, le vol Air France 139, un Airbus A300, venant de Tel-Aviv en Israël et transportant 244 passagers et douze membres d'équipage, décolla d'Athènes en Grèce, pour rejoindre Paris en France. Peu après le décollage à 12h30, le vol fut détourné par quatre terroristes. Les preneurs d'otages, deux membres du Front populaire de Libération de la Palestine et deux Allemands (Wilfried Böse et Brigitte Kuhlmann) membres de la Fraction armée rouge, aussi connue sous le nom de Bande à Baader, prirent le commandement de l'avion et le détournèrent vers Benghazi en Libye. Là, il resta au sol pendant sept heures pour réapprovisionner en carburant et pour relâcher une femme otage, puis redécolla et arriva à 3h15 à l'aéroport international d'Entebbe en Ouganda. À Entebbe, les quatre preneurs d'otages furent rejoints par trois autres pirates, et obtinrent le soutien des forces pro-palestiniennes du président ougandais, Idi Amin Dada. Les pirates étaient commandés par Wilfried Böse (et non pas, comme il est dit parfois, par Ilich Ramírez Sánchez dit « Carlos »). Ils exigeaient la libération de quarante Palestiniens emprisonnés en Israël et de treize autres détenus au Kenya, en France, en Suiss...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr |
