A SMALL BAND OF BRAVE MEN
It was the most triumphant rescue of modern times, a spectacular end to a terrifying odyssey. For years Arab terrorists had shocked the world with skyjacking and wanton murder of innocents. Then guerrillas hijacked an Air France jetliner, flew the passengers to Uganda and, during a week of agony, bargained for lives. Only hours before the deadline, Israeli commandos in Hercules propjets raced over 2500 miles from Israel to Entebbe airport, and in a blaze of gunfire, freed 103 hostages. ( ... ) Here is the full story of a rescue mission in which a small nation staked its pride and honour to save the lives of its sons and daughters.
