From the former First Lady of Egypt, best-selling author, crusader for women's rights, and widow of the slain Nobel Peace Prize winner Anwar Sadat, comes a timely, clear-eyed examination of the defining issues of the Middle East. Drawing on their life together and her first-hand knowledge of the recent history the Middle East - history she played no small role in shaping - she distils the lessons that Sadat's peace can provide. Along the way, she outlines the origins of modern Islamic terrorism, something she has confronted both politically and personally; addresses the attendant misconceptions about her faith; and debunks many of the myths of Muslim womanhood, not least by displaying the straight-talking passion and political acumen that have earned her both admiration and enmity.
