Nasser by Pr Woodward

Nasser by Pr Woodward

Even today Nasser remains the outstanding figure of the postwar Middle East, partly because of his remarkable political achievements, but also because his career seems to embody so many of the abiding preoccupations of the region and the time -- nationalism, independence, economic modernisation, the love-hate relationship with Western economic power and Soviet ideology, pan-Arab unity, and conflict with Israel. In exploring these themes to illuminate Nasser the man, Peter Woodward provides an ideal introduction to the postwar history of the most volatile region of the modern world.
