Flaptekst van de biografie van de Egyptische president Nasser

More than fifty years after his death, Gamal Abd-al-Nasser continues to influence the Arab world. As one of the young officers who overthrew British-backed King Farouk in 1952, Nasser rose to prominence as a charismatic visionary who challenged foreign dominance. At just 36 years old, he became the undisputed leader of Egypt in a presidency that would run from 1956 to 1970.

This insightful biography delves into Nasser’s life, charting his rise to power, his nationalisation of the Suez Canal and his turbulent years as president. Many in the Arab world celebrate his defiance of colonial rule and his dream of Arab unity, but Nasser’s legacy is not without its contradictions; critics have alluded, for instance, to his autocratic rule and unfulfilled promises. In Nasser, Anne Alexander explores the tension between Nasser’s revolutionary ideas and the reality of his governance, offering a nuanced portrait of one of the most complex figures of the modern Middle East.

Anne Alexander is a researcher specialising on leadership, collective action and social movements in the Middle East. She has written for Middle East International and has worked for the BBC World Service. She is currently Learning Director of the Cambridge Digital Humanities network at the University of Cambridge.

Flaptekst van het boek over de geschiedenis van Cambridge

The splendour of Cambridge – to which more than eight million visitors are attracted every year – and its famous university have ensured that the town has long enjoyed international renown. Digging deep into its emergence and evolution, A Short History of Cambridge sheds light on the origins of academia in the area and the fascinating history of one of England’s most famous towns.

From the Middle Ages to the present day, Richard Tames’ digestible and comprehensive history traces Cambridge through the Reformation, the Civil War, the age of Empire, the Great Wars and beyond. Exploring the world-renowned colleges and research facilities of the University, its students and scholars, and their interactions with the townsfolk over the generations, Tames tracks the town’s vast cultural output, from art and literature to theatre and comedy.

This joyful history will delight, in equal measure, readers familiar with the cobbles of Cambridge and those who have seen no further than the stained-glass windows of King’s Chapel.

Richard Tames read history at Pembroke College, Cambridge, and has taught for Syracuse University in London. He is the author of An Armchair Traveller’s History of Oxford and An Armchair Traveller’s History of London and coauthor of An Armchair Traveller’s History of Bath.
