The Letters of Jonathan Netanyahu : The Commander of the Entebbe Rescue Operation

Rating:
Summary: Great life in letters
Review: I read this book about 20 years ago. Back then I wanted to buy a few copies to give to my relatives and could not find it. I am glad it is printed again.
Jonathan lived a short but tremendous life. He died for his people and his ideas. It is amazing to see a young man, when he was a teenager, and being so patriotic.
This should be a required reading in schools across America. May be his role model will instill in the young (and old) love for their country and sacrifice.

Summary: Inspirational... an unadulterated, human perspective
Review: I was recently introduced to this work by a friend who took a curious interest in my decision to leave a career in securities and investments for a position with the humanitarian arm of the military. More than any military or political aspects of the book, I was profoundly impressed with the maturity, strength, and convictions of Mr. Netanyahu as an individual. His wisdom and fortitude and pride for his country are outweighed only by the depth of love for his family. What a fresh perspective juxtaposed with the persona of contemporary Western adolescents!

Summary: How the mighty have fallen . Letters of a true hero
Review: The people of Israel lost a great potential leader when Yoni Netanyahu was killed while leading the rescue operation at Entebbe.
These letters are the letters of a soldier. But they are more than that. They are the letters of a dedicated idealist, a fighter for his people who shows an unusual maturity and wisdom for his young years. They are the letters of a person of integrity whose struggle in life, and through a difficult Army service is not easy. He is a true patriot and a devoted son to his family .His understanding of the complexity of the war Israel is in is second to none.
He impresses as being in his intelligence, and in his quiet strength precisely the kind of leader Israel needs.
His death made him a legend , and his name a symbol of what is best in the struggle of Israel for its existence. But what a loss when one thinks of how much this remarkable person gave, and could have given to his society and world.
