*By the historical consultant to the major motion picture Entebbe* 'The definitive work on the subject....This is the achievement of a masterly, first-rate historian' New York Times Book Review 'It's a brilliantly orchestrated book, wonderfully rich in detail, but at the same time roaring along at a heart-thumping pace...' Mail on Sunday 'A brilliant, breathless account that reads like the plot of an action movie.' Sunday Telegraph This edition is updated with new material on recent discoveries. On 3 July 1976 Israeli Special Forces carried out a daring raid to free more than a hundred Israeli, French and US hostages held by German and Palestinian terrorists at Entebbe Airport, Uganda. The legacy of this mission is still felt today in the way Western governments respond to terrorist blackmail. Codenamed Thunderbolt, the operation carried huge risks. The flight was a challenge: 2,000 miles with total radio silence over hostile territory to land in darkness at Entebbe Airport in Idi Amin's Uganda. On the ground, the Israeli commandos had just three minutes to carry out their mission. They had to evade a cordon of élite Ugandan paratroopers, storm the terminal and free more than a hundred hostages. So much could have gone wrong: the death of the hostages if the terrorists got wind of the assault; or the capture of Israel's finest soldiers if their Hercules planes could not take off. Both would have been a human and a PR catastrophe. Now, with the mission largely forgotten or even unknown to many, Saul David gives the first comprehensive account of Operation Thunderbolt using classified documents from archives in four countries and interviews with key participants, including Israeli soldiers and politicians, hostages, a member of the Kenyan government and a former terrorist. Both a thrilling page-turner and a major piece of historical detective work, Operation Thunderbolt shows how the outcome of Israel's most famous military operation depended on secret diplomacy, courage and luck-and was in the balance right up to the very last moment.

The incredible story of an Israeli mission that rescued 103 hostages from a hijacked jetliner. On June 27, 1976, Air France Flight 139 was hijacked by terrorists and flown to Entebbe Airport in Uganda. In the following agonizing days, Israeli passengers were singled out and held hostage. A week later on July 4, one hundred Israeli commandos raced 2,500 miles from Israel to Entebbe, landed in the middle of the night, and in a heart-stopping mission that lasted ninety minutes, killed all guerillas and freed 103 hostages. In captivating detail, Stevenson provides a fast-paced hour-by-hour narration from the hijacking to the final ninety-minute mission. In addition to discussing the incredible rescue itself, Stevenson also covers the political backdrop behind the hijacking, especially Ugandan President Idi Amin’s support for the hijackers, which marked one of the first times a leader of a nation had backed terrorist activities. An illustration of one nation’s undying spirit, heroism, and commitment to its people in the face of threat, Operation Thunderbolt has become a legendary antiterrorist tale. Although first written in 1976 (and published within weeks of the event), Stevenson’s account presents this act of terrorism in a way that is still relevant in our modern-day political climate. A factual account of what could easily be read as sensational fiction, 90 Minutes at Entebbe will inspire, encourage, and instill hope in all readers. Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our Arcade imprint, are proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in history--books about World War II, the Third Reich, Hitler and his henchmen, the JFK assassination, conspiracies, the American Civil War, the American Revolution, gladiators, Vikings, ancient Rome, medieval times, the old West, and much more.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The Cojots were waiting in line to check in at Ben-Gurion Airport’s Terminal 1, which had replaced the original whitewashed terminal built by the British in the 1930s. The flow of people reminded Michel Cojot of an Oriental bazaar. #2 Air France Flight 139 was one of the recently introduced Airbus A300B4s, a comfortable twin-engined jetliner capable of carrying 272 passengers in a two-class layout. Only 228 seats were occupied. #3 The author's father was a high-achieving man who tried to educate his son even when they were on vacation. The only bleak spot for the thirty-seven-year-old Cojot was the proximity of unruly neighbors, who included brawling brats, a woman who spilled over her seat on both sides, and a couple of retired Americans. #4 On the plane, there were fifty-six new passengers, bringing the total to 246. The majority were still nationals of Israel and France, but more than twenty other nationalities were now present.

The definitive account of one of the 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 was hijacked by a group of Arab and German terrorists who demanded the release of 53 terrorists. The plane was forced to divert to Entebbe, in Uganda -- ruled by the murderous despot Idi Amin, who had no interest in intervening. Days later, Israeli commandos disguised as Ugandan soldiers assaulted the airport terminal, killed all the terrorists, and rescued all the hostages but three who were killed in the crossfire. The assault force suffered just one fatality: its commander, Yoni Netanyahu (brother of Israel's Prime Minister.) Three of the country's greatest leaders -- Ehud Barak, Shimon Peres and Yitzhak Rabin -- planned and pulled off one of the most astonishing military operations in history.

There have been books and articles and blockbuster movies, but now at last THE REAL STORY of the most daring rescue operation ever, as TOLD BY THE OPERATORS THEMSELVES. In June 1976, when AF Flight 139 was hijacked by German and Arab terrorists and flown to Entebbe, Uganda, many around the world thought there was no choice but to succumb to the hijackers' demands. Instead, a few nights later, an Israeli special operations force flew an unprecedented 2,500 miles-largely over hostile territory and with only enough fuel for one leg of the journey. These operators were the first ones to land in Entebbe. They eliminated the terrorists and freed 103 hostages. These are their 33 stories, told in their own words of how Sayeret Matkal pulled off the impossible on that fateful night. "An incredibly important piece of history, not just for Israelis, but for every commando who picks up a gun." Admiral William H. McRaven Commander, United States Special Operations Command. "A fascinating book that grants the readers a glimpse at the testimonies and different vantage points of the warriors at the fore. There is a unique strength to the individual testimonies. The unbelievable story of the operation is made real." Reuven Rivlin, Israel's President.

For Every Action, There Is a Consequence Germany's elite Department 89 has crossed paths with the Central Intelligence Agency on more than one occasion. But after their last encounter, Langley decides enough is enough. Sending a covert black-ops hit team to Berlin, the CIA Director orders the deaths of the Department 89 chiefs and the obliteration of the entire department. A deadly message must be sent to German Chancellor Claudia Meyer, and Agent Tom Finn is the messenger. But Finn and his team have never met anyone like Department 89 before. By the end, there can only be one victor - and Finn is on Decker's home turf.
