Egypt's Liberation: The Philosophy of the Revolution

(1955). 8vo. 1st edition. Light wear at extremities of cloth. Computer print-outs of photos of Nasser affixed to rear blanks. Minor wear at edges of d.j. NF/NF. In this slim volume, Egypt’s second president, Premier Gamal Abdel Nasser, describes his observations of the socioeconomic troubles of Egypt at a crucial turning point in the 20th century. Having himself led the revolt in 1952, Nasser is able to provide uniquely vivid and authentic insight into the motivation behind the dethroning of the monarchy. Published a year after his presidency began, in 1955, Egypt’s Liberation: The Philosophy of the Revolution, is a fascinating and timely historical document from an iconic figure of the Arab world.
