In this memoir, Tahia Gamal Abdel Nasser, who was married to the larger-than-life rais for 26 years, introduces the reader not only to the charismatic politician—the architect of Egypt's 1952 Revolution and hero to millions across the Arab world since the Suez crisis—but also shares rare glimpses into the very private life of Gamal Abdel Nasser the family man, devoted husband, and father.

The account begins with the early years of their married life and the birth of their children, and describes the tense build-up to the 1952 Revolution and the dramatic events of the night of 23 July, the nationalization of the Suez Canal, the 1967 War, Nasser's presidential duties, and eventually his final moments and early death in 1970.
