The title is a little misleading, isn' it? It's not much of a secret history if I can literally pull up the article about it on Wikipedia and a thousand other places.

Yeah. I dunno why they name it that. Maybe because the guy in the clip (Menachem Begin) who led the Irgun terrrorist goup became Israeli Prime Minister in 1977. Like pretty much every Israeli leader he was a prorminent terrorist but this is somehow kept secret from public consciousness.
