90 Minutes At Entebbe by Benjamin Stevenson
A concise nonfiction chronicle of the 1976 hijacking of an Air France jet and the daring Israeli rescue mission in Uganda, following the ordeal from the captives’ seizure and the regime’s complicity to the clandestine planning and nighttime assault by commandos. It covers the tense negotiations, the separation of hostages, and the long-range flight of C-130s under radar, culminating in a swift terminal raid that freed over a hundred people while costing the life of the mission’s commander. The narrative interweaves firsthand accounts, geopolitical context, and aftermath to portray both the human stakes and tactical precision of a 90-minute operation that reshaped counterterrorism.
