Nasser

Gamal Abdel Nasser, architect of Egypt's 1952 Revolution, president of the country from 1956 to 1970, hero to millions across the Arab world, was also a family man, a devoted husband and father who kept his private life largely private.In 1973, his wife Tahia wrote a memoir of her beloved husband. The family then waited almost forty years before publishing the book in Arabic for the first time in 2011. Now this unique insight into the life of Nasser is finally available in English. The book also includes more than eighty family archive photographs, many never before published.
