The July 1952 Revolution in Egypt was an important landmark in the evolution of Egypt's polity and its outlook on world affairs, particularly on African affairs. The new leadership under Nasser made strenuous efforts to foster warm relation between Egypt and the newly independent African States. This book, based on the author's Ph.D. thesis, analyses the efforts of Egypt under Nasser to cultivate friendship with the African States. On the backdrop of Egypt's historical relations with Africa, the author enquires into the mainstrings of Egypt's interest in Africa. He then proceeds to depict Egypt's role in African freedom movement, its attitude towards Pan-Africanism and other intra-African issues. He assesses Israeli factor in Egypt's Africa Policy and rounds up his discussion with Egypt's economic and cultural relations with Africa. The book Egypt's Africa Policy will be found useful by the students of Political Science and International Relations in particular and an interesting reading by the readers in general.
