90 Minutes at Entebbe

90 Minutes at Entebbe recounts the remarkable Israeli mission to rescue 103 hostages from Air France Flight 139, which was hijacked and taken to Entebbe, Uganda, on June 27, 1976. With gripping detail, William Stevenson chronicles the hijacking, the tense days that followed, and the audacious rescue operation executed by Israeli commandos a week later. This account not only highlights the bravery and determination of the rescuers but also delves into the political context of the era, particularly the role of Ugandan President Idi Amin.
