\ BooknewsExamining how Egypt moved from being an occasional player to the dominant participant in Arab nationalist politics, Jankowski (history, U. of Colorado) focuses on the period from the 1952 Revolution to the dissolution of United Arab Republic in 1961 . He examines the ideological and practical considerations that produced the nationalist changes in Egyptian policy. He argues that Gamal Abdel Nesser almost single-handedly pulled Egypt in nationalist directions in response to British military occupation of the Nile valley; Western attempts to extend the Baghdad pact to other Arab nations; and the Suez crisis of 1956.
