Inside Egypt - The Land of the Pharaohs on the Brink of a Revolution (Electronic book text)

The government of Egypt banned "Inside Egypt" in 2008--the first time a book on Egyptian politics had been banned in the country in decades--and quickly rescinded it after the media firestorm that followed. Most experts believe that in the next year or so, Hosni Mubarak will step down and that his son, Gamal is the favorite to take the reins. In "Inside Egypt," John Bradley examines the junctions of Egyptian politics and society as they slowly disintegrate under the twin pressures of a ruthless military dictatorship at home and a flawed Middle East policy in Washington.
