Counterstrike Entebbe. Tony Williamson. 1976.

The Israeli raid on Entebbe to rescue the hostages hijacked on the Air France airbus has entered history as one of the most spectacular exploits devised and executed by modern man…Through Tony Williamson’s interviews with Israeli ministers, generals and senior officials, he has built up a startlingly detailed picture, both of the dissension which raged in Tel Aviv attack, and of the incredibly intricate and skilful planning which went into every phase of the operation. From the testimonies of the hostages and crew he has re-created the atmosphere of tense horror interspersed with flashes of humour, which they endured only though a dogged will to survive. Hip profound knowledge of international terrorism and above all of the Baader Meinhof gang has enabled him to write of the hijackers and their accomplices with understanding and even sympathy.
