Memories with him

This book, which is considered one of the most important autobiographies published in recent years, shows Abdel Nasser's wife for the first time witnessing the events Egypt went through from the Palestine War of 1948 until Abdel Nasser's death on September 28, 1970. These memoirs, written with captivating spontaneity and in a simple, engaging style, are a mixture of autobiography and family history, but while recounting her life milestones with the late leader, they reveal political stances and events still surrounded by a veil of mystery, sometimes adding new and surprising details. It also offers an in-depth reading of the human relationship between Gamal Abdel Nasser and the members of the Revolutionary Command Council of July 1952. Tahia Abdel Nasser attempted to write her memoirs twice, the first during his lifetime, and the second after his passing, but she was unable to continue and tore up what she had written. The third attempt was on the third anniversary of the "President's" passing, as she used to call him, and she wrote it by hand.
