Nations are still in love with the hadiths of their heroes, but what is astonishing is that our Arab library is devoid of a stand-alone book that deals with the biography of Muhammad Ali, the founder of modern Egypt. His circumstances became clear to me about the benefit of translating this message into Arabic, so I suggested to my friend, the able historian Salim Hassan, that we translate it and publish it. We began the work, confident that the book - despite its small size and narrow scope - would fall into the hearts like water does from a pure crop.
