Abstract

A Study adopts the Biblio-Historical Analytical Method in order to
identify the role that the “Book” had played in the ideological formation and
conversion in two periods of the history of modern Egypt namely the
Nasser's Socialism and the Sadat's Openness, The study monitored 703
books in the two subjects of socialism and openness between 1945 to
1985. The study found that the Nasser's Socialism period largely
depended on the “Book” as a tool for the formation of the Egyptian society
by the ideology of socialism, while the period of Sadat's Openness saw
weakness in relying on the “Book” as a tool to conversion the Egyptian
society towards the ideology of openness
