Book Reviews of Entebbe: A Defining Moment in the War on Terrorism--The Jonathan Netanyahu Story

Book Review: "It'll be all right"
Summary: 5 Stars

True the binding is a bit weird, but I LOVE the cover, front and back! "...A hero from (Israel's) past", "a new race of Maccabees". Some of the best books I've ever read are in shreds and tattered and torn. I once nearly read Crime and Punishment in college, read it to the end which was missing many pages. I could not put it down and I had more pressing books to study. This book is another one like that. What's most important is the content. I can't help but think of the zealots of Masada who carefully covered under dirt the worn pages of scripture in the makeshift synagogue and Mikveh they made on that rocky balcony of Herod's nearly 2000 years ago.

Yoni loved his brothers, that's obvious from his letters which can be found in Self-Portrait of a Hero, compiled by his brothers. I enjoyed Iddo's telling a story from their childhood when Bibi presented Jonathan with a "Talmudic dilemma": "You're in the desert with another person, you have one canteen of water. Either of you would need to drink the water to save himself. You can't split it. What would you do...?" Jonathan answered, "It would depend on who the other person was. (Good answer, my thoughts!) If it were Iddo, I'd give him the water." Iddo writes, "I looked at my big brother, who was then 15 years old, and I knew: He'd do it."

My favorite quote is from the publisher who writes in the afterword: "Terrorists die so that other people can die. Yoni died so that other people could live." Amen.

Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever. Daniel 12:3
