A story of true dedication and honour for one's country

This story is, of course, about Yoni Netanyahu who gave his all to Israel. The book is captivating as the author seems to guide the reader through Yoni's life. One sees the mental aspects to his personality, in particular his feelings of army life (to which he was 100% committed) and his aspirations to study at Harvard University (which he did, but in broken parts due to his commitments with the Israeil army). The book describes in detail the roles that Yoni had in the army throughout his career, including those during the Yom Kippur War and the 6 Day War, not to mention the fateful night in Entebbe. I recommend this book to people who want to learn about the history of Israel and about a remarkable man whose endurance and personality were, in my opinion, unrivalled in the 20th century.
