*By the historical consultant to the major motion picture Entebbe*'The definitive work on the subject....This is the achievement of a masterly, first-rate historian' New York Times Book Review'It's a brilliantly orchestrated book, wonderfully rich in detail, but at the same time roaring along at a heart-thumping pace...' Mail on Sunday'A brilliant, breathless account that reads like the plot of an action movie.' Sunday TelegraphThis edition is updated with new material on recent discoveries. On 3 July 1976 Israeli Special Forces carried out a daring raid to free more than a hundred Israeli, French and US hostages held by German and Palestinian terrorists at Entebbe Airport, Uganda. The legacy of this mission is still felt today in the way Western governments respond to terrorist blackmail. Codenamed Thunderbolt, the operation carried huge risks. The flight was a challenge: 2,000 miles with total radio silence over hostile territory to land in darkness at Entebbe Airport in Idi Amin's Uganda. On the ground, the Israeli commandos had just three minutes to carry out their mission. They had to evade a cordon of élite Ugandan paratroopers, storm the terminal and free more than a hundred hostages. So much could have gone wrong: the death of the hostages if the terrorists got wind of the assault; or the capture of Israel's finest soldiers if their Hercules planes could not take off. Both would have been a human and a PR catastrophe. Now, with the mission largely forgotten or even unknown to many, Saul David gives the first comprehensive account of Operation Thunderbolt using classified documents from archives in four countries and interviews with key participants, including Israeli soldiers and politicians, hostages, a member of the Kenyan government and a former terrorist. Both a thrilling page-turner and a major piece of historical detective work, Operation Thunderbolt shows how the outcome of Israel's most famous military operation depended on secret diplomacy, courage and luck-and was in the balance right up to the very last moment.

The birth of the cinema at the end of the nineteenth century and the development of the narrative film made the plays of William Shakespeare a natural source for filmmakers. A hundred years later his work continues to reach contemporary audiences, reflected in such recent films as Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet and the award-winning Shakespeare in Love. This comprehensive guide includes not only films of Shakespeare's plays, but also stage performances captured on film, as well as movies based on or inspired by his life and works. This revised American edition, which contains 34 more pages than the U.K. original, covers three main categories: · 'Pure' Shakespeare—films that are more or less direct versions of the original play, either in part or in whole, in the original dialogue or translation · Derivations—films that use Shakespearean themes or plots—acknowledged or not—but have altered other elements such as dress, time or place · Opera, ballet, and animated versions—adaptations that cover the entire spectrum of filmed media From the silent era through today, this detailed directory contains information on each film, including year of production, director, lead players, and production company. Where known, the book also lists the country of origin and language, emphasizing the international appeal of the great dramatist's works. Shakespeare: A Hundred Years on Film fills a gap in film literature and celebrates the enduring bond between the Bard and the world of cinema. Includes 40 photos.
