Nasser

Nasser chronicles the rise and fall of the Arab World’s most influential modern leader : Gamal Abdel Nasser, the revolutionary army officer whose reign as President of Egypt saw him build the infrastructure of the Post-colonial Egyptian State that has remained until today. He forged a system that harnessed military and religious powers, struck a delicate balance in foreign relations and muzzled a complacent civil society. But it is the struggle for power between the Army and the Muslim Brotherhood that has been at the heart of defining the country’s future. This dance between Egypt’s only two political forces continues to define the Egyptian politics landscape today.
