About Anwar Sadat
Anwar Sadat (1918–1981) served as Egypt’s President (1970–1981). He initiated economic liberalization (infitah) and pursued the 1979 Egypt–Israel peace treaty, a defining foreign-policy achievement that reshaped regional dynamics. Sadat’s legacy mixes diplomatic breakthroughs and contested domestic policies; he was assassinated in 1981. He is treated here as an influential legacy leader in Egypt’s 20th-century history.
