Yoni's Last battleBy James Oliver BurnsI first became interested in the story of Yoni, when I accidentally came across a copy of the Book entitled "The letters of Yoni". When I came across the book and read the subject matter, I remembered the story of the raid on Entebbe and the hijacking of the French airliner by German and Arab terrorists. I didn't read the book until I found out that we were on our way to Israel, while I was stationed aboard the USS Nimitz CVN 68, While in Israel, it was then when I realized, how different life in Israel was from the United States. I observed Israeli soldiers in and out at uniform carrying their weapons. While we were there PLO terrorists had planted a bomb on a bus and killed most of the Israelis that were on the bus. It then hit me how dangerous it was to live in Israel, surrounded On all sides by Arab nations, Who wanted to do nothing else, but to annihilate The nation of Israel and it's people. After I read the book, that is when I first held Yoni, with high regard and great respect.Yoni's Last battle: The Rescue at Entebbe, 1976 - Once I started reading this book, I could not put it down, I had to force myself to close the book so that I did go to sleep or eat. Yoni was the brother of Benjamin Netanyahu Who is the prime minister of Israel. This book describes all the events and training that took place before the actual raid. It showed just how great a leader and strategies that Yoni was, it also showed all the trials and negativity that he was forced to overcome and getting his plan approved by his superiors and the Israeli cabinet and Prime Minister. This book is a detailed account of the raid, and how the hostages were freed and brought 2000 miles to safety Israel. One of the problems that Yoni had to overcome was the fear from the Israeli leadership that the raid would end in disaster, and causing the death of all the hostages and the annihilation of the rescue force. Failure would be disastrous to the nation of Israel and would cause death of the best trained soldiers that Israel had to offer.In this book you get an intimate look at the leadership and capabilities of Yoni as a leader and the man. So get a glimpse of the training and the man that went on the mission. To me this was an outstanding book that covered most aspect of the preparation and the execution of the raid itself. It also show the inner turmoil that Yoni felt at the time. Like most men and military leaders it died young his greatness and ability we're not appreciated until his death.(less)flagcomment see review0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A book about a remarkable individualBy KosieZThe story of the rescue at Entebbe has interested me for a while and I wanted to read this to gain more detailed information on it... And the book turned out to be way more than I expected!! Not only does the author give great detail about the entire operation and it's planning and background, but he also portrays the life of a truly remarkable man in these pages. Yoni Netanyahu is a great example of how to lead by example and to do what is right, and the world is definitely poorer without him in it.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. LOVE YOU MY BELOVED HUSBAND YONI NETANYAHU HEWAY COOL FATHER ...By JoePsalm 144:3 NLTO LORD, what are human beings that you should notice them, mere mortals that you should think about them? O FAIREST AMONG WOMEN. THE TRUTH ABOUT CHRIST COMPLETELY AND FOREVER AND EVER COMPLETELY! LOVE YOU MY BELOVED HUSBAND YONI NETANYAHU HEWAY COOL FATHER GOD MOST HIGH JON YAH YESHUA HUSBAND BROTHER JON THANKFUL AMEN! IM SAFE IN CHRIST JESUS COMPLETELY AND FOREVER AND EVER COMPLETELY! 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. From Library JournalOriginally published in Hebrew in 1991, this book has been reissued in English to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Entebbe raid. In June 1976, an Air France jetliner was hijacked and forced to fly to Entebbe, Uganda, by terrorists. On July 4, 30 soldiers of the Israeli army known as "the Unit" successfully rescued over 100 Israeli and Jewish passengers held captive by the terrorists. Only the 30-year-old commander of the unit, Lt. Col. Jonathan (Yoni) Netanyahu, was killed. He was the brother of the author, who also participated in the raid, along with a third brother, Benjamin Netanyahu (later to become prime minister of Israel). The book is both an accurate, detailed account of the raid and a personal tribute to a brother and a hero. The fast-paced text offers numerous flashbacks of the three brothers' childhood and army service. Although some details and identities remain classified, the author was able to interview most of the unit's soldiers and others involved in the raid. This new edition contains transcripts of those interviews. The book lacks an index, but photos, drawings, and personal recollections assist in explaining this historical event.

Country names and borders as they were at the time of the raid. DAY 1: SUNDAY 27 JUNE 1976 0500hrs GMT, Lod, Israel A chaotic scene greeted Frenchman Michel Cojot and his twelve-year-old son Olivier as they entered the ground-floor check-in area of Ben-Gurion International Airport’s Terminal 1, an unsightly four-storey concrete and glass construction that had replaced the original whitewashed terminal built by the British in the 1930s. The flow of people reminded Cojot of an Oriental bazaar as it ‘tried to make a path among the baggage carts, the pillars, and the barriers under the watchful eyes of young women in khaki and young soldiers… the only persons there who were not bustling about’. A spate of recent terrorist attacks against Israel–including the infamous massacre of twenty-six people, most of them Christian pilgrims from Puerto Rico, by three pro-Palestinian members of the militant communist Japanese Red Army at Ben-Gurion four years earlier–had left the country with the tightest airport security in the world.
