Reviews

Dina Rezk’s book is an interesting and important study that presents the manner in which Egyptian presidents Nasser and Sadat were read in the West, based upon archival material recently declassified and opened for the scholars’ eyes. -- Eyal Zisser * Bustan: The Middle East Book Review * Well researched, thoughtfully and cogently presented, recommended. -- Philip C. Shackelford, Library Director, South Arkansas Community College * Journal of Advanced Military Studies * An insightful re-evaluation of American and British engagement with the Middle East between the Suez crisis and the Yom Kippur war and, at a more theoretical level, an important contribution to our understanding of the cultural dimensions of intelligence history. -- David Reynolds, University of Cambridge
