Reviews

[Carlos Filipe Bernardino · Rating 3 out of 5]

It is not an accessible history book, but for those interested in the period and the figure of Nasser, it is a necessary work to consult for the information and data it provides us.

[Andrew Daniels · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a reliable book, lots of blow by blow explanation, but a bit of a dull read

I do not recommend it as a first book on this period, but it is a good book if you have a deep interest or you are researching
