Nasser

Life&Times
By Anne Alexander

Gamal Abd-al-Nasser was 36 years old when he became the undisputed leader of Egypt. When, in 1956, he nationalised the Suez Canal and took on the might of Britain, France and Israel, he became one of the Arab world’s towering figures.

'Part of the 'Life and Times Series', this nice little book on the late Egyptian President Gamal Abd-al-Nasser was written by Anne Alexander, a journalist who writes for Middle East International and works for BBC World Service. Alexander introduces the reader to the young Nasser in the context of the time in which he was born and proceeds with a lively account of the 1952 revolution and the subsequent 'high tide of liberation'.'
