I 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)
