The importance of Lutfi al-Khuli and the intellectual circle associated with the Nasserist regime has, until now, been neglected in literature. Here, Ginat examines al-Khuli's contribution to the short-lived yet formidable success of Arab socialism. Making extensive use of primary sources, such as essays and articles by al-Khuli as well as personal interviews, he sheds new light on Egypt's socialist experience in the 1960s. Newly-declassified archival material and literature in Arabic and other languages are also used in order to elucidate the Egyptian context and the ideological structure of Nasser's Arab socialism.
