Hardcover. Condition: VG. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Dust jacket condition: Very Good. Very nice clean copy. First American edition. 314 pages portraits 22 cm Illustrated with photographs. His father named him Farouk, which means "One Who Knows Right from Wrong." At sixteen he was the hope of an independent Egypt, a handsome, godlike young man who, the fellahin believed, would lead them into a time of peace and plenty. Ten years transformed him into an obese faun with a mania for women, gambling, and other people's possessions. Farouk of Egypt became an object of ridicule, the subject of bad jokes, an awful example of the consequences of unlimited power and wealth, a disaster for his people. In this deeply interesting and revealing biography, written by an author who spent two years in search of the person behind the legend, Farouk's obsession with sex is shown as a desperate attempt both to remedy and to conceal his inadequacy. Deprived of childhood companions, the boy became a prey to scheming politicians and sycophantic servants. He was poorly educated, immature, and totally unprepared for the arduous task of ruling his corrupt and feudal country. The more powerless his ineptitude made him, the more autocratic he grew; the more impotent as a lover, the more frenzied his pursuit of women. His patient subjects tolerated his mistakes and excesses until, finally, his private scandals, his divorce from his popular queen, Farida, and the Palestine debacle set the stage for the long-overdue and almost comic revolution that forced him into exile. The author interviewed Farouk's courtiers, his doctors, the men who made the revolution, and the women who knew him intimately. On the Continent he traced and talked with the king's companions in exile. In England he saw such statesmen as Lord Avon and Lord Chandos, as well as ambassadors, Arabists, and the general who planned the wartime coup de palais. Drawing on the recollections of more than a hundred and fifty observers and on unpublished British and Egyptian sources, he has written an oddly touching biography of a complex man.
