Too Rich: The High Life and Tragic Death of King Farouk

Rating:
Summary: Excellent, well researched bio of the man and modern Egypt
Review: This is a book you can't put down! A well written biography of a man most Eqyptians do not want to talk about, even today. I travel frequently to Egypt and have met some of the Free Officers and Islamic Brotherhood who helped bring down Farouk. Some have read the book and feel it is a very accurate picture presented without bias - just the facts! I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in modern Eqyptian history
