Historian and broadcaster Saul David tells the gripping story of the most audacious Special Forces hostage rescue mission in history. The 1976 hijacking of Flight 139 which came to a violent climax at Entebbe, in Idi Amin’s Uganda, had repercussions worldwide. 40 years on, Saul David tells the gritty, visceral and fast-paced tale of the first shot in the West’s long war against international terrorism in his critically-acclaimed book Operation Thunderbolt.
