This book examines a key period in the formation of modern Egypt,
the early years of military rule following the coup of 1952. The
Free Officers, a secret organization of junior officers, overthrew
Egypt's parliamentary regime in July 1952 and over the next few
years consolidated their rule, brutally suppressing alternative
political movements. Gamal Abdel Nasser, one of the young officers,
emerged as the leader of the military junta and launched an
ambitious program for economic development, making Egypt a leader
in Arab, African, and non-aligned politics, as well as a model for
political mobilization and national development throughout the
Third World. Focusing on the goals, programs, successes, and
failures of the young regime, Gordon provides the most
comprehensive account of the Egyptian revolution to date. Besides
bringing to light newly opened American and British sources on the
period, Gordon's book is also informed by interviews he conducted
with a number of actors and observers of the events.
