Ironically, the second of existentialism's classical heroes is an antithesis of passionately Christian Kierkegaard-the prophet Friedrich Nietzsche, who proclaimed that "God is dead." It is characteristic of the lack of crystallized structure in modern existentialism that its adherents include both Christians and atheists.

Egypt was embroiled with its neighbors-the Sudan, Libya, Tunisia-as well as with others who, fearing the power of Nasser's propaganda, dared not defy him publicly. In Iraq, whose revolutionary regime seized power in the name of Arab unity, the ruling officers quarreled, and the uprising, far from ending the historic...
