Fawaz A. Gerges examines the ideological collision between Gamal Abdel Nasser’s secular Arab nationalism and Sayyid Qutb’s radical Islamism, tracing how this rivalry defined the political landscape of the twentieth-century Middle East. By analyzing the personal and political trajectories of these two influential figures, the work illuminates the foundational tensions that continue to inform contemporary regional governance and social movements.
