On the night of July 4, 1976, an elite squad of Israeli commandos touched down at Entebbe Airport in Uganda and executed one of the most audacious hostage rescue missions in modern history — in just 90 minutes. 90 Minutes at Entebbe chronicles the full, gripping account of Operation Thunderbolt, from the hijacking of Air France Flight 139 by Palestinian and German terrorists to the breathtaking raid that stunned the world, drawing on firsthand material from Israeli intelligence insider Uri Dan to deliver an account of unmatched immediacy and authority. William Stevenson, a seasoned journalist with deep access to the corridors of Israeli intelligence, reconstructs the operation with the precision of a military briefing and the tension of a thriller, illuminating the political brinkmanship, split-second decision-making, and extraordinary courage that defined the mission. Published mere weeks after the raid itself, this work stands as a landmark in narrative non-fiction — a document that not only captures a defining moment in the global war on terrorism but also raises enduring questions about statecraft, sovereignty, and the limits of military power. For anyone who has ever wondered what it truly takes to bend the arc of history in 90 minutes, this is essential reading.
