"The extraordinary story of young men whose skills and capabilities rival those of superheroes. They are Israel's ultimate insurance policy." - Maj. Gen. Amir Eshel (Ret.), former Commander-in-Chief of the Israeli Air Force
Unit 669, Israel's elite Air Force rescue unit, is a top-tier commando force of the IDF and one of the most formidable rescue units in the world. Deployed daily into chaos and danger, its teams rush into combat zones, disaster sites, and special ops deep behind enemy lines.
Whether evacuating wounded soldiers under fire from Gaza or Lebanon, retrieving a downed pilot, or saving a Syrian infant on a humanitarian mission, 669 operates where everything has gone wrong-and when failure is not an option.
Full Throttle is the gripping true story of life inside this legendary unit, told from the front lines by combat paramedic Guy M. Through daring extractions and heart-stopping moments under fire, Guy thrusts the reader, with raw and unflinching honesty, into the relentless world of combat rescue.
Originally published in Hebrew, the book became an instant bestseller and is now a modern classic for young Israelis. Full Throttle offers an intimate, action-packed, look inside one of the world's most distinguished special forces units.
Within these pages are never-before-published accounts of real missions, revealing the sacrifices, moral stakes, and unbreakable brotherhood of those who answer the call when no one else can.
