    Gamal Abdel Nasser Hussein (15 January 1918 -- 28 September 1970) was the second President of Egypt, serving from 1956 until his death. He planned the 1952 overthrow of the monarchy, and was deputy prime minister in the new government. In 1953, Nasser introduced far-reaching land reforms. Following a 1954 Muslim Brotherhood-led attempt on his life, he ordered a crackdown on the organization, put President Muhammad Naguib under house arrest, and assumed executive office. A June 1956 public referendum approved both the new constitution and Nasser's nomination for presidency.

      American? hahahaha !!! you do realize that because of the Americans he stayed in power right? since he wanted to nationalize the Suez Canal The world powers of France and UK (back then) almost blew Egypt a new ass hole, without the US intervention that would have happened, Israel back then also was planning something against Egypt to assist the brits and French. Now, is Naser a hero? yes and no. for example to Christians he was evil and for many reason. His actions also was the reason for the fall of Libya and Iraq monarch. I would say 50% hero 50% evil.

    Nasser was the most loved Arab leader in the last 1400 years and the only leader who stood firm with the masses and in favour of social justice. He achieved independence and built the High Dam and made Egypt an industrial power house and proved that the Arabs can be united which sent shock waves across the world. His ambitions alarmed world powers and brought his defeat in 1967 and his early death in 1970

      @@ibnrawandi2713 I agree with you 100%, but you have to understand one thing, the west with its technological advancement was a place of need to the Arab world, that being said, countries operate this way to further its interest. EVERY NATION NEEDS THIS AND DOES THIS!! even Egypt. Now, the US is one of the best allies you can have (maybe not pure in nature), and the US has proven this over and over, go ask the Saudis, go ask the Emirates. Even though and I get this, the US values do not match those of the Islamic world, and I'm an American Muslim by the way. Egypt under Sadat wanted to play the game with the west and East, he saw himself as to use the Americans and the Soviets, So the Americans while still under the cold war saw this as a no no and pulled out all its funding for the damn and told the Egyptians, you want to rely on the Russians to fund it, go ahead, lets see if they keep their promise and pay, guess what, the soviet didn't pay. That how ever helped the Egyptians against the war to liberate Sinai from the Jews, they had the best unti air craft money can buy from the Soviets, the superior Israeli air force was no match for these AAs. that is why I said Sadat was good 50% and bad 50%, your not prophet Muhammad to be 100%. Remember he is the one that created this monopoly of young officers rebelling, we saw this in Libya, and Iraq. And yes CIA was involved and the KGB played a great role in this too.
