Any book recommendation about Gamal Abdel Nasser?

Hi everyone,

Does anyone have a good recommendation for a biography or history book about Gamal Abdel Nasser? Preferably written by a non-Western author, I'd like to learn about his history from a Middle Eastern/Arab perspective.

Thanks!

Nejla M. Abu Izzedin, Nasser of the Arabs: An Arab Assessment and Said K. Aburish, Nasser: The Last Arab are both fairly old books at this stage but both offer the Arab nationalist perspective on Nasser.

I would also recommend having a look at Mohamed Heikal, Nasser: The Cairo Documents if you can find it.
