Publisher's Synopsis
Operation Entebbe was a successful counter-terrorist hostage-rescue mission carried out by commandos of the Israel Defense Forces at Entebbe Airport in Uganda in July 1976. An Air France plane with 248 passengers had been hijacked by two members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine - External Operations (PFLP-EO) under orders of Wadie Haddad (who had earlier broken away from the PFLP of George Habash), and two members of the German Revolutionary Cells. Now a major Working Title Film, this is the true story of the greatest special forces' operation of the 20th century and the first shot in the West's long war against international terrorism.
