This is a truly amazing book. Written in a very soft, story style it goes deep into the brain and spirituality of one of this century's greatest leaders. A wonderful, delightful read. Awesome connections of his success with natural priniciples. We can all learn a lot from him. Great examples of Win/Win mentality.

Anwar Sadat's account of his lifetime and struggles is an excellent account of the conditions prevailing in Egypt during the mid and late 20th century. It gives an excellent insight into Egyptian point of view of Israel and the Arabs.

Sadat's book is a must for anyone who wants to understand contemporary Egyptian thinking and foreign policy. His influence on the current situation in the Middle East has not dimished with time.

I believe Sadat was one of the Mid East's great men. Here was a person who waged war but desired peace. The world lost a lot when this great man was assasinated by Islamist fanatics. Neither his predecessor Nasser or his successor Mubarak rate in his league. If you have read Sadat's book In Search of Identity, then this book is a rehash of much of what he says in his autobiography. The book expands a little on recent events such as the Israeli bombing of Iraq's nuclear reactor. Sadat condemned Israel for that.
If one wanted an overview of what Sadat stood for, this is the book. If one wants more, the reader should read his autobiography.
