Nasser
Condition remarks:
Condition: Good to fair. Jacket: No dust jacket - paperback. Page Condition: Good - possible tanning. Markings: possible previous owner.
A landmark political biography, Nasser chronicles the life and legacy of Gamal Abdel Nasser, one of the most transformative and controversial leaders of the twentieth century. Robert Stephens, an acclaimed foreign correspondent, draws on extensive firsthand knowledge of the Arab world to present a meticulously researched portrait of the Egyptian president who rose from humble origins to reshape the modern Middle East. The book details Nasser's pivotal role in the 1952 Egyptian Revolution, his audacious nationalisation of the Suez Canal, and his passionate championing of pan-Arab nationalism — a movement that electrified millions across the region. Stephens argues with authority that Nasser was not merely a nationalist firebrand, but a complex statesman whose ambitions and contradictions defined an entire era of post-colonial politics. Part of Pelican's celebrated Political Leaders of the Twentieth Century series, this biography remains an essential and authoritative account of a man who left an indelible mark on world history.
