Nasser, the final years

During Gamal Abdel Nasser's difficult three-year period between the Six-Day War and his death, he employed Farid as the secretary-general of the Presidency of the United Arab Republic. Farid joined Abdel Nasser at most of his meetings and took minutes. He kept hold of those documents and now, a quarter-century later, has made them publicly available; these startling transcripts both round out the character of a charismatic figure and go far to setting the record straight on his final years. -- Description from http://www.danielpipes.org (April 27, 2015).
