The Struggle for Egypt: From Nasser to Tahrir Square
Cook, Steven A. (Senior Fellow, Senior Fellow, Council on Foreign Relations, Washington, DC, United States)
The recent revolution in Egypt has shaken the Arab world to its roots. In The Struggle for Egypt, noted regional specialist Steven Cook explains how this parlous state of affairs came to be, why the revolution occurred, and where Egypt might be headed next. A sweeping account of Egypt in the modern era, it incisively chronicles all of the nation's central historical episodes: the decline of British rule, the rise of Nasser and his quest to become a pan-Arableader, Egypt's decision to make peace with Israel and ally with the United States, the assassination of Sadat, the emergence of the Muslim Brotherhood, and-finally-the demonstrations that convulsed Tahrir Square and overthrew an entrenched regime.
