Second time as farce -- The unfinished job. 520 $a "We Are Your Soldiers examines seven countries-Egypt, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Yemen, and Libya-weaving the epic tale of Nasser's dramatic encounters with each to reassess his impact in the Arab sphere. These engagements were often drenched in blood and destruction, leaving deep scars that endure to the present. Rowell shows how the Nasser years were crucial to the formation of regimes as varied as Bashar al-Assad's Syria, Muammar al-Gaddafi's Libya, Saddam Hussein's Iraq and Abd al-Fattah al-Sisi's Egypt. Crushing democracy at home while launching wars and slaying opponents abroad, Nasser ushered in the long political winter from which the region is still yet to emerge. Drawing on a deep reading of Arabic sources, extensive interviews, and material never before published in English, Rowell offers a necessary reexamination of Nasser's rule and a new understanding of the politics of the Middle East." -- $c Publisher's description. 600 10 $a Nasser, Gamal Abdel, $d 1918-1970. 651 0 $a Egypt $x History $y Revolution, 1952. 651 0 $a Egypt $x Politics and government $y 1952-1970. 650 0 $a Arab nationalism $z Egypt. 651 0 $a Middle East $x Politics and government $y 20th century. 600 17 $a Nasser, Gamal Abdel, $d 1918-1970 $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00058126. 650 7 $a Arab nationalism $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00812216. 650 7 $a Politics and government $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741. 651 7 $a Egypt $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01208755. 648 7 $a 1952-1970 $2 fast. 655 7 $a Biographies $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896. 655 7 $a History $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft. 941 $a 1 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20240503010553.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9AB8A1E0091211EFA2C9076631ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
