Rescue at Entebbe
Operation Thunderbolt, in which Israeli commandos stormed a Uganda airport terminal in 1976 to rescue hostages hijacked on an Air France flight, remains what Max Hastings calls "the high water mark of Israel's standing in the world." In his new book on the rescue mission, Saul David provides a fast-paced, suspenseful account of those tense summer days. While there have been several books (and movies) about the operation, this one draws on new sources and explores the motivations of the terrorists more deeply than earlier efforts.
The post Rescue at Entebbe appeared first on Washington Free Beacon.

Good news: ISIS is losing territory and revenue
(Paul Mirengoff) We have been critical of President Obama's campaign against ISIS, and we will continue to be. The air campaign against the terrorist state should have been far more vigorous from the outset and we should have more boots on the ground. In fairness, though, there are indications that ISIS is finally being pegged back. ISIS has lost a significant amount of territory. In Iraq, according to the Washington Post, up
