I have thoroughly enjoyed reading this biography. Previously, I knew little about Farouk, thinking him the ridiculous figure he became towards the end of his life. However, the author of this biography really brings the true story of Farouk and his life and times to life, helping us to see that Farouk actually had a lot going for him until WWII intervened and the British forced him out of Egypt. It's a sad story, but I think anyone who reads the book will be very glad they did and come away with a new appreciation of King Farouk and the extenuating circumstances that made his last days a disappointment and brought him to international ridicule. This is truly a fascinating study of Farouk, the royal line he came from, and the time in which Farouk lived, along with the Egyptian politics of the era. I highly recommend it!

One of the 2 most accessible English language Farouk bios--a bit more informative & less biased than The Last Pharaoh. Details helpful in understanding Farouk's apparent ineptitudes & 'path of least resistance' attitudes.

Bill Stadiem has yet to write a bad book. Some of his biographies take as their subjects obscure (or ought to be obscure) figures, but when he isn't informative he is entertaining. This is a well-crafted, fascinating biography of a political and social figure who was more important that many today realize. A great read. (Full disclosure: Bill was a classmate at Harvard Law School and has probably had more fun than any other member of our class. Hi, Bill!)

A feeling of sadness over the end of a fairy-tale King who was crushed by the world's major Powers to the detriment of his country and people.

This is a phenomenal book that truly gives a modern reader a totally different angle to look at the Middle East history in the 20th century, and to make one question the habitual story of today's version of how political events developed in the region.The most important astonishment, which is actually true, as confirmed by other sources, is that Abdel Nasser coup d'état against the lawful regime of King Farouk was actually fully supported by the CIA. American goals had been to provide safety to Israel and to establish uninterrupted supply of oil. On that account, not much has changed in fundamental goals of USA foreign policy ever since, however one is stunned to learn how miserably the ways to obtain these goals backfired. King Farouk was deposed in 1952; a few years later the wars with Israel ensued; then in the following years Nasser switched to the Soviet camp, Suez canal was lost, the price of oil skyrocketed and the inflation of the dollar soared. It is amazing to contemplate the similarities of this story and that of Saddam Hussein, who was also once a friend, becoming a bitter enemy, and to see the shortsightedness of USA and Britain approach to installing the initially friendly leaders who had to be toppled by devastating wars later on. In addition, as everyone knows, Western forces were behind the strengthening of Taliban, used in 80-90s as a counter-force against the Soviets - with devastating results of 2001, leading to continuing problems of today's year 2010, with no definite end in sight.Speaking of anti-Semitism, the huge Jewish community left Egypt with Farouk's deposition and Nasser's ascent to power; remarkably Egyptian Jewish emigration went to Britain and America, but not to Israel. The book provides an eye-opening account on the position of Jews in pre-Nasser Egypt; many were close advisers to Farouk's father, King Faud, and Farouk as well surrounded himself with Jewish connections and mistresses. Certainly Jewish community was very prosperous in Farouk's Egypt, enjoying peaceful life. The question of supporting Germany during war is forever complicated - as India's Gandhi, being a country controlled by the British, colonial leaders supported the side that could help them get rid of the oppressor - Britain. Yet Farouk's government did not engage in anti-Semitic policies at home. I think mixing these two issues - quest for independence through support of a terrible regime with anti-Semitism is a big mistake, leading to misunderstanding of complex forces driving a specific colonized country's policy.Looking back to the benevolent regime of King Farouk, whose dynasty prided itself on promoting enlightened European way of life, of making Cairo the "second Paris", of being heavily influenced by British, it is sad to see that the reality of today's Egypt is far from this pro-European culture. It is rather ironic to see how the efforts of USA and Britain with imposing tyrants as Nasser and Saddam under the guise of promoting democracy brought to life regimes that completely eliminated it, and today those countries seem much further away to ever have anything resembling a tolerant regime on their soils. The economic devastation of the installed tyrannical regimes, such as Nasser's wars, loss of value of Suez canal, ecological disaster of Aswan Dam, all contribute to long-term negative economic consequences and miseries of today's Egypt.Apart from such discoveries, the book is a marvelous read about lavish lifestyles at Farouk's court; so opulent indeed, that Iranian Shah's court apparently looked to contemporaries as a dusty remote place image of Egyptian grandeur. The many photographs provided in the book speak better than words about the atmosphere at Farouk's court - if not knowing that the photos are taken in Egypt in 30s-40s, one would easily take them as pictures of some European courts, with ladies in open-shoulder Western gowns and dresses; the words like "veil" and "bourqa" seem unknown at Farouk's court.Speaking of King Farouk's personality, he reminds of French Louis XV, on the account of ferocious promiscuity; both these historic figures were not overly cultured or educated, and both were not terribly intelligent; however Farouk's ill fate seem mostly to come from being a pawn in a huge Armageddon played in the world by Britain, Germany and USA in 1930s-40s-50s. Farouk's reputation seems to be vilified and his name sacrificed to the altar of subsequent tyrannical regimes in the same fashion as that of Louis XVI in France; both these monarchs fell victims of political currents they were too weak or too un-bloodthirsty to divert from themselves. Definitely King Farouk, like Louis XVI of France, was not a bloody tyrant, and similarly he was succeeded by the despotic regime full of terror. The book provides marvelous insights into the culture of those decades, and into Mohammed Ali dynasty's political course - the dynasty that ruled Egypt since 1905, making Egypt of that time the most European, civilized and enlightened country of the Middle East.I personally think that knowledge of such truth as the book presents is not promoted by the mainstream propaganda because it exposes so blatantly the tremendous failures of American/British foreign policies in the Middle East that it is really hard to stomach for an average person, and so much contradicts to the version of history that the governments of USA, Britain and Egypt want everyone to believe.
