okay, the title accurately describes the perspective the story is from 'Yehuda Ofer was the Deputy Editor of the Israel Air Force Magazine for twenty years...' but if you look past his fanatic worship of the Isreal Defence Force, Government and anything to do with Israel generally :) the story is told well using international news sources, Isreali governmental sources and provides a fascinating insight into how the crisis was perceived by the hostages and the nation to which they belonged.
also his description of Wilifried Bose one of the airjackers executed during the operation, though spare is deeply intriguing, a person who did something truly terrible for what he felt to be just reasons, even though during his interaction with the hostages you could see glimpses of his self-justification fracturing (specifically when confronted about other Arab Regimes' treatment of Palestinian refugees).
An interesting read, I picked it up for 20 pence at a Swanage (UK) museum book shop, so there you go...
