 The Arabist » “I was president of Egypt”   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
In fact, Nasser was the strongman behind the coup and Naguib, who had been the head of the army under the monarchy, took on the post to assure a smooth transition.
Naguib resembles those weak Arab military strongmen seen in Syria and Iraq in the 1950s — most of them coming out of the old system and with their “class interests” associated with the bourgeoisie rather than the petty middle class.
When he was released (in 1970, I think) from his house arrest, Naguib wrote a book titled “I was president of Egypt.” I always thought that title was full of pathos, as if Naguib had to remind people, in the context of Nasser’s megalomaniac personality cult, that he had been president.
