These books present detailed accounts of military rescue missions: Entebbe, 1976 Uganda; West Africa, 2000 Sierra Leone; Iranian Embassy, 1980 London; and World War II, 1944 France. Military history aficionados will appreciate the well-researched texts. Others may be overwhelmed by technical terms, the unappealing format, and dense, tiny type. Maps, sidebars, and archival photographs add interest. Reading list. Glos., ind.
