First Chapter of An Accidental Murder

Secret Soldier A revealing account of a 25-year career in the Israeli special forces ... Betser, fighting as a member and then leader of Israel's top anti-terrorist commando unit, largely describes the planning and execution of missions between the wars. Co-author Rosenberg does not have to exaggerate Betser's dramatic life, but as a thriller writer (Crimes of the City, 1991, etc.), he adds some necessary tension and plotting to Betser's curt, military description ... of running narratives of bravado behind Egyptian lines in the Six-Day War and Yom Kippur War, a mission to kidnap Syrian generals in Lebanon, the assassination of PLO planners of the Munich Olympics massacre, the Entebbe hostage rescue, and more ... Betser is harsh about the political factors that created 2,569 casualties in the Yom Kippur War and painfully aware of the mistakes that cost the life of Yoni Netanyahu, the only Israeli soldier killed at Entebbe. Secret Soldier adds much to our understanding of Israel's covert fighting arm. -- Copyright ©1996, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved. More about Secret Soldier at Ariga
