About the author
Mohamed Heikal
89 books70 followersMohamed Hassanein Heikal (Arabic: محمد حسنين هيكل) was an Egyptian journalist. For 17 years (1957–1974), he was editor-in-chief of the Cairo newspaper Al-Ahram and was a commentator on Middle East affairs for more than 50 years.
Heikal articulated the thoughts of President Gamal Abdel Nasser earlier in his career. He worked as a ghostwriter for the Egyptian president Gamal Abdel Nasser and represented the ideology of pan-Arabism. Heikal was a member of the Central Committee of the Arab Socialist Union. He was appointed minister of information in April 1970 but resigned from government in 1974 over differences with Anwar Sadat.
In September 2003, upon reaching the age of 80, Heikal wrote an article in the monthly magazine Weghat Nazar (where he had been writing for some time) that the time had come for an "old warrior" to put down his pen and take to the sidelines. Heikal stressed that his decision to stop writing did not mean he would disappear, but rather take to the sidelines to observe more thoroughly. In the article he also recounted a lot of the events that occurred during his life and formed his experience including his first mission as a reporter in the Second Battle of El Alamein in 1942, his friendship with Nasser and his relationship with Sadat. In addition he opened his financial records stating the salaries he had received in all his jobs and posts.
In a 2007 audience with British journalist Robert Fisk, Heikal spoke about the situation in Egypt and criticized Egyptian president Mubarak, saying that Mubarak lives in a "world of fantasy" in Sharm al Sheikh. These comments stirred an uproar within Egyptian society, both for and against Heikal. Heikal did not comment on this criticism except later on Al Jazeera, where he said that he stands by what he has said earlier, adding that Mubarak had not entered political life until very late, which means he lacks necessary experience.

أعرف أن هيكل مُختلف فيه؛ هناك من يحبه ويرفع قدره لعنان السماء، وهناك من يكرهه ويراه شيطان رجيم.
أما أنا فأقل علمًا، وأصغر سنًا من أن أصدر رأيًا واضحًا فيه لعدم إلمامي بشكل كافٍ بحياته وأثره.
أما ما أعرفه أنه من الكُتّاب الذين لا أملّ من قراءته لسهولة وسلاسة ومتعة طرحه، وهو ما اختبرته أثناء قراءة هذا الكتاب. وقد أعود في وقتٍ آخر إلى الكتاب مرة أخرى فأرى عكس ما رأيت، أو يزيد إيماني بسابق اعتقادي.

أن السياسة من ألفها إلى يائها عملية إنسانية، يفكر فيها بشر، ويخطط لها بشر، ويديرها بشر. وعلى هذا الأساس فكل سياسة مهما كانت دقة تصميمها، ومهما كانت كفاءة الوسائل التي توضع تحت تصرفها، ومهما كان وضوح وجرأة المطلوب منها - تبقى مشكوفة ومعرضة لكل مايعترى الفعل البشري من قوة وضعف، ومن همة وقصور، ومن حذر وجموح.
