Recenzje

'A gripping account of Egypt's 1952 Revolution and Gamal Abdel Nasser's legacy on the Arab world as a whole. Alex Rowell captures the horrors of the Nasserist police state that took root across the Middle East in the twentieth century. Essential reading to understand the roots of the 2011 Arab Spring and the conflicts that have devastated so much of the region down to the present. A brilliant book' Eugene Rogan, author of The Arabs: A History
