With the authority of a man who stood at the very epicentre of power, Neguib chronicles the Egyptian Revolution's history, substance, methods, and objectives, while also recounting the dramatic schism with his successor Gamal Abdel Nasser, the complex negotiations with Great Britain, the fraught relations with the West and Israel, and ambitious plans for Egypt's industrialisation and social welfare.\n\nWritten with the candour and conviction of a man who was both a celebrated national hero and a political prisoner, Egypt's Destiny presents a unique insider's perspective on the birth pangs of modern Egypt that no secondary historical account can replicate. Neguib's narrative illuminates the fierce ideological battles, personal betrayals, and grand national ambitions that defined an era, making this memoir an indispensable document for anyone seeking to understand the Arab world's mid-century transformation. How does a revolutionary become an inconvenient truth? Neguib's story holds the answer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203393200347,"sku":"2026200013660-SECONDHAND","price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/5f9d1e1f-14f1-447d-99f9-dd22e9fe34d5.png?v=1788148443","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200013660-secondhand-egypts-destiny","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
