I would like to thank my wife Yolande for her continuous help and unwavering encouragement throughout this endeavor, and Fayka, my sister, for kindly providing various family photographs from her albums.

To Jonathan Harris, I owe a great deal for his invaluable help, creative advice, and, above all, for his patience. Thank you, Jonathan.

I would also like to express my gratitude to Donald Reid for his insightful critique and wholehearted support and for very generously agreeing to write an introduction to the book.

Many thanks, also, to the American University in Cairo Press team for believing in the historical value of this book and making it happen.

I am also indebted to my co-author, Nevine Henein, for transforming my initial, hastily thrown-together account into a clear narrative befitting the life, wisdom, and achievements of an exceptional man, Marcus Pasha Simaika.
