  Yoni’s Last Battle
While the nation of Israel, and Jews throughout the world, struggle with the painful realities of the current Intifada, Yoni's Last Battle by Iddo Netanyahu returns to an earlier chapter of the Arab-Israeli struggle – to a time when the battles were more clear-cut, and genuine heroes led the charge.
In extraordinary detail, Dr. Iddo Netanyahu –Yoni’s youngest brother, and also brother to former Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin (Bibi) Netanyahu – reconstructs events to portray a minute-to-minute chronicle of one of the earliest and most spectacular victories in the modern war against terrorism.
Iddo Netanyahu was born in Jerusalem, youngest son of one of Israel's most eminent historians.

Faced with the type of ruthless gang that murdered most of the Israeli contingent to the ’72 Olympics, and given that they were being harbored by one of the world’s most brutal dictators, the Israelis appeared to have no options except give in.
As always a rescue team was assembled but, as Iddo Netanyahu explains in his exhaustive account of the raid (recently reprinted in English under the title, Entebbe: A Defining Moment in the War on Terrorism), such missions were often aborted.
The Netanyahu family has been accused of inflating the role of the commander—but they are hardly at fault for sharing what is obvious from the testimony of the men that Yoni led and been repeated by his peers.

Had he simply continued his career in the Israeli Army, in which he was a lieutenant colonel at the time of his death, he might well have risen quickly to the top of it.
He was good at what he did and he knew it, but he was also so extremely demanding of himself, and so genuinely charitable in his judgments of others, that selfsatisfaction was never a snare for him.
Most of his letters were written with restrained but obvious love to his brothers and parents; some were sent to his friends and some to his wife, from whom he was divorced in 1972 after five years of marriage.
