Anwar Sadat
This is an excerpt from the paper...
Little in Anwar Sadat's earlier career might have suggested the historical role that he would come to play in Egypt, the Middle East, and the Islamic tradition of peacemaking. As Nasser's vice-president he was a mere functionary, "dwarfed" by the charismatic Nasser, expected to be only a transitional figure in the Egyptian leadership (Mackey, 1992, p. 247). Instead he established himself as a strong national and regional leader. In the 1973 Arab-Israeli war, he demonstrated both his own strategic understanding and the capabilities of the Egyptian Army. He showed the Arab peoples, the world at large, and the Israelis themselves that the Israelis were not after all ten feet tall. From that position of strength he began to rethink his analysis of the overall Middle East picture. His initial objectives were tactical. Specifically, his initial concern was not so much making peace with Israel as rebuilding Egypt's relationship with the United States, fractured in the Nasser years of the 1950
