A landmark work of political biography and modern history, Nasser's Egypt chronicles the rise of Gamal Abdel Nasser and his transformation of Egypt into a powerful force in the Arab world and on the global stage. Peter Mansfield, a seasoned Middle East correspondent, presents an authoritative account of the Egyptian revolution of 1952 and the sweeping social, economic, and political reforms that followed. With sharp analytical clarity, the narrative details Nasser's nationalisation of the Suez Canal, his pan-Arab ambitions, and his complex relationships with both the Western powers and the Soviet Union. Mansfield illustrates how one man's vision reshaped not only a nation but the entire landscape of post-colonial politics in the Middle East and Africa. Written with journalistic precision and historical depth, this remains an essential and compelling portrait of one of the twentieth century's most significant leaders.
