In Search of Indentity enwar et al Sadat. His Autobiography written prior to his massacre . The last great hope of a peacful Islam. Slaughtered by the hishonorable Middle-eastern Devil  advocates of present. 0050 - In Search of Indentity Sadat, Enwar El
The Peacemaker Sadat's autobiography. Written and published before his slaughter. Ironicly the dedication is " For the Love of Peace" A must read, as The President of Egypt was the first and only Middle-eastern leader to offer real peace with Israel, and ultimately died for his gesture. You learn what a gracious man this military genius and hero was. An example of a leader willing to take the needed risks for real peace. You realize the facsade of most of todays voices from the middle-east and how small minded their personal twisted bend on destruction of their lands, their peoples lives, and childrens futures are. The FALSE WAR being raged in the FALSE name of ISLAM by a cowardedly few, is not what Enwar's Egyptians were, Nor the Real Hero's of the Arab lands. The middle-east needed a leader that offered a light into the future for peace in the region. The radicals then, as today, rule the majority in the guise of Islam? The people of the present day area appear as ignorant sheep being led down a path of blood, death and destruction. The people of the Middle-east need to wake up and see they have been taken captive by the Devil himself as agents of war and destruction as they bring the oldest cilvilization's honor, respect, and most importantly trust through the gates of hell with each slaughter they offer to the devil, Inshallah. 1978. 1st ed. 360 pgs. Portrait of Enwar Sadat on Cover. Hardcover cloth Fine, dustcover Fine, Mylar wrapped.
