It is not known exactly how he succeeded as a journalist in becoming a press advisor to King Farouk in the period from 1942 to 1952?He witnessed the fall of the king - and the royal era - and even became a victim of his position and closeness to the king, as he was arrested by the Free Officers and imprisoned for a long period. During his imprisonment, he wrote his memoirs about the royal palace, King Farouk, his morals, and his character. Although these memoirs were not published at the time, they were published in The end of the nineties of the last century, but it sparked widespread controversy due to the skepticism of some who lived through the same events in what was mentioned in it. It was issued in 2000, presenting The great writer Muhammad Hassanein Heikal, which expanded the circle of controversy and cast doubt on the validity of what was stated in it. In this book, which we are re-issuing, Thabet discusses the beginning of his acquaintance with King Farouk, his desert trips, his love of reading and exercising, and other details.
