Follow Me: The Yoni Netanyahu Story
“I must feel certain that, not only at the moment of my death, shall I be able to account for the time I lived. I ought to be ready at every moment of my life to confront myself and say, ‘This is what I’ve done.'” ~Yoni Netanyahu
By any measure, Yonaton “Yoni” Netanyahu is the kind of larger-than-life character that would seem unbelievable in a novel. But he is an historical figure, the older brother of Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s prime minister. Already possessing a distinguished military record in his twenties, he was called upon to lead the 1976 raid that freed 100 hijacked hostages held by terrorists in Entebbe, Uganda. Follow Me crosscuts a day-by-day account of the hostage crisis with archival photos and home movies of Yoni’s life, drawing heavily on the eloquent letters he wrote to loved ones.
“A portrait of an intelligent, charismatic natural leader.” ~Chuck Bosen, Slant Magazine
