Description
Despite knowing, Mohamed Hassanein Heikal was aware of the controversy these accounts would provoke, and despite knowing beforehand that he would be attacked without a chance to defend himself, that things would be attributed to him that he didn’t know, and that he would be accused of things he didn’t do, he nevertheless wrote these accounts. They are not intended to defend Gamal Abdel Nasser, his personality, or his era, but rather they represent a concise narrative of scenes he witnessed firsthand, selecting specific events related to some of the accusations being leveled against Nasser at the time.
His aim was to inform the people of Egypt, and indeed the people of the Arab world, that the truth was not what was claimed at the time in what was published and said in Cairo. That truth was concealed by statements and allegations, and these lines reveal it.
