EP 40 - Alex Rowell: How Gamal Abdel Nasser Remade the Arab World

Alex Rowell is a journalist, writer, and online editor at New Lines Magazine. In episode 40 of Tahrir Podcast, we discussed his most recent book, “We Are Your Soldiers: How Gamal Abdel Nasser Remade the Arab World,” which offers an eccentric but provocative retelling of modern Arab history, providing an engaging account of Nasser's influence on the Middle East. The book delves into Nasser’s role in shaping authoritarian systems across the Arab region, examining his influence beyond Egypt, including his interactions in countries like Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and Yemen.
