Book: Treacheries Throughout History by Farouk El-Gammal

History does not perish between records or in coffins, nor can it dissipate like ashes scattered by the wind. It remains eternally present, even if some of its details sometimes disappear. History is not a swift journey that takes us to the distant past; rather, it is like a terrifying nightmare that afflicts us if we discover the painful details and stories within it. Perhaps tales of betrayal are the most prominent feature of many pages of history. All major events that shaped the world's history throughout the ages were accompanied by betrayal. Indeed, we can say that historical events and betrayal ran on parallel lines, like two inseparable companions. Therefore, we cannot witness any major event, success, or victory in a war, or even a revolution, without smelling the scent of betrayal in them.
This book chronicles some of these betrayals that left deep marks on the pages of history, and which remain to this day a source of wonder and a lesson at the same time.
And often a source of inspiration and learning.
