One of the great lands of the Arab and Muslim World

This book about Egypt teaches one about Egypt's relations with it's Arab neighbors Syria, Jordan, the Palestinians, and also Israel (It's only non-Arab neighbor) which it has been in three wars with in 1948, 1967, and 1973. The book also tells about the two types of people that live in Egypt that are the Muslim Arabs who number from 85 to 94 percent, and the Coptic Christians who number from 6 to 15 percent and live in Egyptian cities such as Cairo (Al Qahira) and Asyut, and also their is a section that talks about the two leaders who controlled Egypt that are Gamel Abdel Nasser from 1954-1970 (who in my opinion was one of best leaders the Arab world has ever had) and Anwar Sadat from 1970-1981.
