The assassination of Sadat brings to an end another era in Egyptian
history. This book examines the crucial issues in the
transformation of Egypt in the period between the death of Nasser
and the murder of Sadat. Focusing on the upheavals in the Egyptian
political and economic structure over the last twenty years, the
book explains the change in Egypt's international orientation
through a careful examination of domestic factors. The switch from
Nasser's state socialist-political economy to Sadat's more
laissez-faire approach and the institutional and structural links
between the two are analysed as the key to understanding the
dynamic developments within Egypt. The book argues that the
propagation of a new political economy was the primary basis of
Sadat's ability to remain in power, while the weaknesses in that
economy drove Sadat to seek external solutions and ultimately
undermined his domestic support. His conduct of the 1973 war, his
trip to Jerusalem, his enthusiasm for the United States and his
whole perception of Middle Eastern affairs must be seen in terms of
his domestic policies and internal troubles. First published 1982.
