The raid on Entebbe - rescuing nearly 100 Jewish passengers from the hi-jacked Air France flight 139 - remains the single most stunning achievement of the top secret unit of the Israel Defence Force enforcing Israel's security in the Middle East.For twenty-five years,Muki Betser was an IDF mastermind and a commander of the most elite unit and SECRET SOLDIER is his incredible autobiography.
'SECRET SOLDIER' provides an intimate glimpse into the previously classified miltary actions of the organisation dubbed the 'tip of the spear' - the ruthless strike force targeted against Israel's terrorist enemies during the 1970's and 1980's.Muki Betser joined the IDF in 1964, and swiftly rose to become one of the
leaders of 'The Unit' - the elite special forces team responsible for Israel's most crucial defence missions.He reveals the inception and often dramatic outcome of the IDF's offensives against the PLO and other terrorist organisations during an unprecedented period of unrest in the Middle East.Beginning with new revelations about the Six-Day War,Betser catalogues the successes - the kidnapping of five Syrian generals,and the raid on Entebbe, the execution of Black September's top three commanders,alongside the harsh realities surrounding a quarter of a century of counter-terrorist war.Many of Betser's closest companions died in combat,while Betser himself was terribly wounded in an abortive raid on the PLO in Karameh in 1968.
'SECRET SOLDIER' is the story of a brilliant tactician and a supremely brave commando.But Muki Betser's message reverberates far beyond the field of battle.
His volatile and riveting autobiography highlights the daunting crises and dilemmas faced by Israel in its fight for nationhood and peace.
