About the author
Mohamed Heikal
88 books72 followersMohamed Hassanein Heikal (Arabic: محمد حسنين هيكل) was an Egyptian journalist. For 17 years (1957–1974), he was editor-in-chief of the Cairo newspaper Al-Ahram and was a commentator on Middle East affairs for more than 50 years.
Heikal articulated the thoughts of President Gamal Abdel Nasser earlier in his career. He worked as a ghostwriter for the Egyptian president Gamal Abdel Nasser and represented the ideology of pan-Arabism. Heikal was a member of the Central Committee of the Arab Socialist Union. He was appointed minister of information in April 1970 but resigned from government in 1974 over differences with Anwar Sadat.
In September 2003, upon reaching the age of 80, Heikal wrote an article in the monthly magazine Weghat Nazar (where he had been writing for some time) that the time had come for an "old warrior" to put down his pen and take to the sidelines. Heikal stressed that his decision to stop writing did not mean he would disappear, but rather take to the sidelines to observe more thoroughly. In the article he also recounted a lot of the events that occurred during his life and formed his experience including his first mission as a reporter in the Second Battle of El Alamein in 1942, his friendship with Nasser and his relationship with Sadat. In addition he opened his financial records stating the salaries he had received in all his jobs and posts.
In a 2007 audience with British journalist Robert Fisk, Heikal spoke about the situation in Egypt and criticized Egyptian president Mubarak, saying that Mubarak lives in a "world of fantasy" in Sharm al Sheikh. These comments stirred an uproar within Egyptian society, both for and against Heikal. Heikal did not comment on this criticism except later on Al Jazeera, where he said that he stands by what he has said earlier, adding that Mubarak had not entered political life until very late, which means he lacks necessary experience.

علي غرار الجزء الاول من هذا الكتاب جاء هذا الكتاب محتوياً قسمين الأول يحتوى تحليلا للأوضاع والمتغيرات السياسية والعسكرية والاستراتيجية لأطراف الصراع خاصة الجانب المصري والأردني مع تحليل مناظر للجانب الإسرائيلي وفي إشارة واضحة إلى ان البيئة الداخلية في مصر كانت في احلك اللحظات وقت ان كان جيشها يحارب في الأراضي الفلسطينية وما يشير اليه الكتاب من نقطة تحول في العمليات العسكرية من الجانب الإسرائيلي للإجهاز على الجيوش العربية وإنهاء حالة الحرب التى كانت في توجهاتهم الاستراتيجية لا يجب ان تستمر طويلا لتبدا عملية عسكرية اطلق عليها الخلاص ومن بعدها عملية التحرير لتنتهي العمليات العسكرية بوجود قوة من الجيش مصري محاصر في الفالوجا
القسم الثاني من الكتاب يتضمن يومية الحرب كمستند رسمي وهو في بعض المواضع يحتوى معلومات هامة قد تساعد القاريء على تفهم. سير العمليات العسكرية وبعض المواضع من يومية الحرب تلك تشعر القاريء بالملل
من اكثر ما اعجبني في هذا الكتاب هو ما عرضه من مذكرات بن جوريون لبيان كيف كان يفكر الخصم ويرى ذلك الصراع بشكل مختلف عما يراه القادة العرب في ذلك الوقت
