'In this original and absorbing book, Laura James chronicles Nasser's involvement in four major wars. There is a great deal of new material here, fresh assessments, and subtle analysis of the mindset of the Arab world's iconic leader. Nasser's image of the enemy is presented as the key to understanding his foreign policy. A remarkable book about a remarkable leader.' - Avi Shlaim, St Antony's College, Oxford
