Fine unread condition glossy brown linen boards with gold spine lettering contained in a fine condition photographic dust jacket. Includes Acknowledgments; List of Maps and Illustrations; Epilogue; Important Dates; Glossary of Hebrew Terms and Index. Illustrated with black-and-white photographs and black-and-white map drawings. Signed, inscribed, and dated (2/8/96) by the author, Devra Newberger Speregen, with blue pen on the full title page. The lower right corner of the same page contains a neatly scripted gift inscription. Also includes a tipped-into-the-volume handwritten note by the same gifter of the book, dated 2/9/96, re: "I had the pleasure of meeting the author of this book at a luncheon this afternoon." (Yoni Netanyahu was Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's older brother). "Few rescue missions have succeeded like "Operation Thunderbolt," the Israeli plan led by Yoni Netanyahu on July 4, 1976, to rescue 105 hijacked Jewish passengers held captive in Uganda's Entebbe Airport. With clock-like precision, Yoni and his men flew secretly from Israel, landed in darkness more than 2,500 miles and 9 hours away, and rescued all but five of the hostages, returning them safely to Israel. In this gripping biography, Devra Newberger Speregen introduces young readers to one of Israel's bravest soldiers, offering a dramatic portrait of the young man who came to embody Judaism's highest values through his commitment to Israel and the Jewish people. Beginning with his earliest years, Speregen describes Yoni's life as the son of Israeli parents who made thir home in Israel and in the United States, and she traces his development as a young boy who felt at ease in both worlds but who considered Israel his true home. Whether playing hide-and-seek with his two brothers, Iddo and Binyamin (Bibi), serving as a troop leader in the Israeli Scouts, or working as a camp counselor in the United States, Yoni displayed great intelligence and an innate talent for leadership, earning admission to Harvard University and distinguished himself as an officer in the Israeli Army. It was as a soldier fighting for Israel that Yoni felt most in his element. He fought in the Six Day War as well as in the Yom Kippur War and defended Israel's borders throughout his career, becoming the kind of commander fellow soldiers admired. When Arab terroritsts hijacked an Air France plane on the morning of July 3, 1976, and held the plane's Jewish passengers hostage in the Entebbe airport, Yoni led his men onto the runway to rescue them, showing the world that Israel would defend her citizens within her borders and across the world rather than give in to terrorism." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. …

Description de la boutique
Vero Beach Books is an antiquarian bookseller with a constantly updated inventory of rare out-of-print books, signed books, children's books, plus a large inventory of ephemeral items such as major U.S. city newspapers going back 100 years and more, golden and silver age fine condition comic books (soon to be added), and many other ephemeral items as well as much more recent popular volumes. We have been in business for 25 years, originally known as Emerson Books (named after one of our owner's favorite authors, to wit, Ralph Waldo Emerson) located back then in Westport, Connecticut. That said, we are here to serve you, to offer you fine quality items that are conservatively described so that you will always be pleasantly surprised and delighted with your purchase. Twenty-five years in the bookselling business has borne out our stellar service oriented reputation; the only difference is that now we are located in the almost always sunny and warm climate of Vero Beach, Florida. Again, we are here to serve you and, as was the case when we were previously known on ABEBooks.com as Emerson Books, we will continue to offer our very popular 100% free search service for those hard to find books rare and out of print books. Oftentimes we are also able to obtain these rare finds at very good discounts to our customers' so it is always worth contacting us in such cases!
