Description: 3 newspapers 1977 & 1981 SADAT makes PEACE w ISRAEL is ASSASSINATED by ISLAMISTS - inv # 2L-311 SEE PHOTO-----Three (3) ORIGINAL NEWSPAPERs, the Ashville Times (NC) dated Nov 20 and 21, 1977 and the Rochester Times-Union (NY) dated Oct 6, 1981. The 2 1977 newspapers have headlines and coverage of the historic visit by Egypt's President ANWAR SADAT to Israel to forge a peace between the 2 former belligerent countries. The 1981 newspaper has coverage of the assassination of President Sadat by Islamic extremists in Egypt in the aftermath of the peace established with Israel. These 3 issues are the complete front news sections only, NOT the entire newspapers. Great for display purposes !!! Muhammad Anwar El Sadat (25 December 1918 – 6 October 1981) was the third President of Egypt, serving from 15 October 1970 until his assassination by fundamentalist army officers on 6 October 1981. Sadat was a senior member of the Free Officers who overthrew King Farouk in the Egyptian Revolution of 1952, and a close confidant of President Gamal Abdel Nasser, under whom he served as Vice President twice and whom he succeeded as President in 1970. In his eleven years as president, he changed Egypt's trajectory, departing from many of the political, and economic tenets of Nasserism, re-instituting a multi-party system, and launching the Infitah economic policy. As President, he led Egypt in the October War of 1973 to regain Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, which Israel had occupied since the Six-Day War of 1967, making him a hero in Egypt and, for a time, the wider Arab World. Afterwards, he engaged in negotiations with Israel, culminating in the Egypt–Israel Peace Treaty; this won him and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin the Nobel Peace Prize. Though reaction to the treaty—which resulted in the return of Sinai to Egypt—was generally favorable among Egyptians, it was rejected by the country's Muslim Brotherhood and leftists in particular, who felt Sadat had abandoned efforts to ensure a Palestinian state. With the exception of Sudan, the Arab world and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) strongly opposed Sadat's efforts to make a separate peace with Israel without prior consultations with the Arab states. His refusal to reconcile with them over the Palestinian issue resulted in Egypt being suspended from the Arab League from 1979 to 1989. The peace treaty was also one of the primary factors that led to his assassination. Very good condition. This listing includes the 3 entire front news sections, NOT the entire newspapers. STEPHEN A.
