2 Although a fair amount has been written on this subject, the literature is rooted in a perspective that emphasizes Soviet manipulation of the Middle Eastern parties. Some of the important examples are Shamir, Shimon, “The Marxists in Egypt: The ‘Licensed Infiltration’ Doctrine in Practice,” in The USSR and the Middle East, Shamir, S. and Confino, M., eds. (Jerusalem, 1973)Google Scholar; and Binder, Leonard, “The Failure of the Egyptian Left,” Asian and African Studies, 14 (1980), 20–34.Google Scholar
