Joniho posledn bitva – Entebbe 1976, Legendrn zchrann operace, Pbh izraelskho hrdiny (2026)

A gripping reconstruction of one of the most daring and audacious rescue operations in modern history, which astonished the world and was led by one remarkable man. In the summer of 1976, Palestinian and German terrorists hijacked an Air France plane to Uganda. They carried out a selection reminiscent of the Holocaust, releasing non-Israeli passengers while keeping around one hundred Jews as hostages. The terrorists issued an ultimatum and, protected by Ugandas dictator, felt safe deep in the heart of Africa. They were mistaken. Israel refused to submit and decided to rescue the hostages. Within 48 hours, an audacious and seemingly impossible plan was created. Sayeret Matkal, Israels elite commando unit, undertook a risky mission thousands of kilometres from home and achieved the nearly impossible. The operations commander, Lieutenant Colonel Jonatan Joni Netanyahu, became a legend overnight, leading his men to victory and saving innocent hostages while paying the ultimate price himself. His brother Ido Netanyahu, also a member of the unit, reveals the detailed planning, preparations and execution of the mission based on eyewitness testimony. The book is in Czech.
