Book Review: A Man of Vision, A Voice of Reason
Summary: 4 Stars
`Those I Have Known' written by Anwar El-Sadat was released with absolutely no fanfare whatsoever in '84. Now some twenty-three years later, this book grows in value and importance with each passing day. An unimposing 140 pages in length this slender, hardcover volume provides a fascinating glimpse into the heart and mind of one of the most important political and spiritual leaders of the 20th century. Contained within you find brief discussions on the always tenious Egyptian/Israeli relationship, Egypt's role in international affairs and most importantly, Sadat's personal musings on the leaders and personalities governing the politics of the Middle East at the time. It's a veritable "Who's Who" in the Islamic World.
