Nasser: The Arab Strongman Cometh

Following on from our last episode, another CIA adventure in the
Middle East kicks off this episode on Egypt. King Farouk’s removal
from power is the starting pistol for the Egyptian Revolution—a
landmark event in modern middle eastern history. The figure of
Nasser reigns supreme, whose dogged attempts to resist
incorporation into the new U.S.-led Western order precipitated a
crisis that might have led to World War 3: the Suez Crisis. All
eyes remain fixed on Egypt today, as the war in Ukraine threatens
fatal food shortages there, and regional rivalries over the River
Nile could turn ugly. Listen to exclusive bonus content and get all
