Nasser, The Last Arab

Nasser, The Last Arab

According to the Iran Book News Agency (IBNA), on the very day Gamal Abdel Nasser, the President of Egypt, died in 1970, the dream of achieving a unified Arab nation-state became an impossible event. In a world where collective ideals have collapsed and politics has turned into a power game, Gamal Abdel Nasser was the last shared dream of the Arab world.

The book ‘Nasser, The Last Arab’ is a narrative about a man who stood on the border of dictatorship and popularity, war and the ideal of unity, East and West, and tried to liberate a nation from the clutches of colonialism, corruption, and division. This book not only offers a penetrating portrait of Nasser but also reflects a fundamental question: Can the interests of the Arab world and the West ever reconcile?
