"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)."@en
"This book consists largely of records of meetings between President Nasser of Egypt and various world figures - Podgorny, Tito, King Faisal, King Husain - from 22 June 1967, following the Arab-Israeli war, to 27 September 1970, the day before Nasser died. Farid intersperses the records with his own observations in an unobtrusive manner leaving statesmen to speak for themselves, thus presenting a unique insight into the attitudes and personalities of those involved in these crucial talks. A highly original and eminently readable book, it is also an indispensable reference for students of contemporary Middle Eastern history and politics. -- Description from http://www.amazon.com (April 27, 2015)."@en
