  Gamal Abdel Nasser - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nasser was born in Alexandria, the son of a postal official.
Nasser, a lieutenant colonel in the army; founded and served as leader of the Free Officers Movement, a group of young members of the military all under thirty-five and all from peasant or lower middle-class backgrounds, dedicated to overthrowing the British-backed King Farouk I of Egypt.
Nasser's policies became associated with the ideology of Pan-Arabism, which promoted strong, aggressive government action on the part of the Arab states in order to confront the "imperialist" West, and urged that the resources of the Arab states should be used for the benefit of the Arab people and not the West.

Gamal Abdel Nasser (Arabic: جمال عبد الناصر;, January 15, 1918 - September 28, 1970) was the second President of Egypt after President Muhammad Naguib and can be considered one of the most important Arab leaders in history.
Nasser's life-long strategy was neutral Pan-Arabism (and indeed consolidation among the developing nations).
The most dubious of Nasser's achievements was the creation of the Aswan Dam and the lake that bears his name in southern Egypt.

 Six-Day War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nasser's pan-Arabism had numerous supporters in Jordan (in spite of Hussein, who felt it threatened his authority); and so, on May 30, Jordan signed a mutual defense treaty with Egypt, thereby joining the military alliance already in place between Egypt and Syria.
Egypt was ruled by Gamal Abdel Nasser, a firebrand nationalist whose army was the strongest in the Arab Middle East.
Some claim that Nasser used the obscurity of the first hours of the conflict to convince Hussein that he was victorious; he claimed as evidence a radar sighting of a squadron of Israeli aircraft returning from bombing raids in Egypt which he claimed to be Egyptian aircraft en route to attacking Israel.

Gamal Abdel Nasser (Arabic: جمال عبد الناصر;) (January 15, 1918 - September 28, 1970) was the second President of Egypt after Muhammad Naguib and is considered one of the most important Arab leaders in history.
In early 1954 Nasser arrested Naguib, accusing him of supporting the Muslim Brotherhood and knowing of the attempt on his life, and on February 25 became the Egyptian premier.
Nasser's role in inciting the Six Day War, which led to tremendous losses for the Arab states, tarnished his legacy and led to a diminuation of his power in the Middle East.

 "History They Didn't Teach in School"--October 29th: Israel Attacks Egypt : Houston Indymedia
To the west and the Israelis, Egyptian President Gamel Abdel Nasser, an ardent Arab nationalist, was a grave threat to their economic interests and security in the region.
Nasser was not becoming a Soviet client state, and in fact conceded little in the deal with the USSR, but the Americans saw him as a growing threat in the region, and phrases like “Soviet-Egyptian ambitions” became commonplace in American analyses of the Middle East.
Nasser’s stature in the Arab world, indeed the entire Third World, had grown dramatically, as the Egyptian president had just closed off one of the most vital oil routes in the world, especially important for western military needs.

 Ahmed Ben Bella - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
When Nasser brought Ben Bella to speak for the first time to an Egyptian audience, he broke into tears because he could not speak Arabic.
It has been said that he refused to teach his own daughter French because he wanted her to learn Arabic first and not be in the same position he was.
Nasser's material, emotional and political support of the Algerian movement would come to cause him troubles, as it played a major role in France's choice to wage war on him during the 1956 Suez Crisis.

 Operation Musketeer: A Military Success Ends In Political Failure
Both men hated Nasser and wished to be rid of him: The Briton because Nasser was a threat to British influence in the Middle East and the Frenchman because he saw Nasser as the source of all trouble in Algeria.
Nasser did not believe that this situation would markedly improve because many of his pilots were training in the Soviet Union and would be unavailable once a war began.17 This assessment was shared by Moshe Dayan when he informed the French that he supported them in their insistence on rapid movement.
Nasser had expected the civilian population to bear the brunt of the fighting and had armed them for this purpose, a curious act by one considered ripe for a civil uprising.18 Indeed, the civilians bore the brunt.

Nasser hoped that he would be the one to reunite the Arab people; therefore, he developed a foreign policy that would place him in the position to do that.

Of the exhibits on the ground floor (mostly labelled in English), the most impressive are Greco-Roman: painted sarcophagi from Maks al-Qibli and Dakhla; death masks from Qasr el-Labeka; and mummified rams, eagles and ibises from the Muzawaka Tombs.
Aside from the Gamel Abdel Nasser Mosque (one of dozens that Nasser built in provincial towns in the 1960s), and a Coptic Church discreetly located off the highroad, there's nothing else to see until you reach the lower part of town (it's best to take a pick-up, unless you fancy the 2-3km walk).

'Nasser definitely miscalculated the crisis that led to the war,' says retired ambassador Tahseen Basheer, 'but he had started to de-escalate.
Both Nasser and Sadat were 'pharaohs' with national visions, said Basheer, but Sadat was able to make his trip to Jerusalem because he was unencumbered by the defeat of 1967 and buoyed by 1973 war.
