According to the author, the July Revolution was not a revolution. Neither was it a military coupe or a movement; it was a mere usurpation of power.

The author points out that corrupt and decadent regimes do not require much power to make it fall. He argues that had King Fārūq had enough zeal and will, he would have overcome the small group of officers who took power by chance; instead he was a collapsed monarch representing a collapsed regime and therefore he fled with his life and fortune.
