Publisher's Synopsis
In this succinct account, the author reveals the threads that weave the controversial legacy of the Egyptian military leader and head of state Anwar Al-Sadat, prying into his motivations that led him to war against Israel and that saw him shortly afterwards become an iconic leader for peace in the Middle East by stirring his country onto a path that not only began the transformation of Egypt into a modern state, but that equally alienated Egypt from the rest of the Arab world.The unequivocal nature of Janvier T. Chando's account sheds a unique light into the legacy of one of Africa's and the Middle-East's most remarkable leaders of all time.
