Sadat, at the time a young officer in the Egyptian Army and involved in anti-British revolutionary activities, is presented quite sympathetically; his willingness to cooperate with German spies is clearly shown to derive from his wish to find allies against British domination of his country, rather than from support of Nazi ideology.
The improved relations Egypt gained with the West through the Camp David Accords soon gave the country resilient economic growth. It would have been impossible to even interview Aboud al-Zomor a few months ago. Zawahiri was also imprisoned in connection with Sadat’s assassination, but was released after he won an appeal.
They wanted to meet him. Sadat surprised everyone with a series of astute political moves by which he was able to retain the presidency and emerge as a leader in his own right.
“I was planning in ‘84, that I gather the people in one way or another. Had social media websites been around like Facebook and Twitter – which helped protestors organize this year’s revolution to unseat Mubarak – killing Sadat wouldn’t have been, in Zomor’s opinion, necessary.
“We didn’t want Sadat to be killed, in my opinion, until we were ready for the revolution of '84.
He leads organizations, not just one.
Zomor said it was the cumulative effect of these actions that drove the plotters to assassinate Sadat.
To prove his point, Zomor says members of his group, Islamic Jihad, could have killed Sadat in 1980, a year before gunmen opened fire at the military parade.
“The year before, we had people in the Republican Guard. Syria continued to resist such a conference.
I wanted to know what motivated him and the other plotters to kill the Egyptian president. It was not until 1989 that the League re-admitted Egypt as a member, and returned its headquarters to Cairo. Arab League member states believed in the elimination of the "Zionist Entity" and Israel at that time. This was the primary reason that this regime must be removed.
It was taken in 1983. Some of the scenes in the book, such as Sadat's arrest by the British, closely follow the information provided in Sadat's own autobiography.
Sadat was a recurring character on Saturday Night Live, played by Garrett Morris, who bore a resemblance to Sadat.

He was also enigmatic and quixotic. Although agreed upon, the ceasefire was immediately broken. Zomor was treated more like a celebrity – more like a fellow revolutionary – than an organizer of Egypt’s most notorious assassination in modern history.
This press photo features Jihan (Jehan) Sadat. In an interview with a Saudi television channel, he also claimed both the United States and Israel were involved: "No one from the special personal protection group of the late president fired a single shot during the killing, and not one of them has been put on trial," he said.
In 1983, Sadat, a miniseries based on the life of Anwar Sadat, aired on US television with Oscar-winning actor Louis Gossett, Jr.
in the title role. But it would have been very difficult then.
