A King Betrayed: The ill-fated reign of Farouk of Egypt

243 pgs. Includes dust jacket. Author's inscription and signature. Black & white photos. No highlighting or underlining. As a cousin to the King, government official and diplomat, the author was unusually well placed to observe at first hand the course of a reign that began in high hopes with the accession of the personable teenaged monarch in 1939 and ended in disillusion and exile in 1952.
