The effort by Nasser to bring about…

September 1970 CE

The effort by Nasser to bring about this unlikely reconciliation between two bitter enemies is enormous.

He is by now a tired and sick man.

He has been suffering from diabetes since 1958 and from arteriosclerosis of the leg.

He has had treatment in the Soviet Union, and his doctors have warned him to avoid physical and emotional strain.

He had ignored their advice and suffered a heart attack in September 1969.

The strain of the summit had been too much.

He falls ill at the airport on September 28 when bidding good-bye to Arab leaders and returns home to bed.

He has another heart attack and dies in the afternoon.
