Inside Egypt

Autor John R. Bradley
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 ian 2012
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Inside Egypt in 2008 the first time a book on Egyptian politics had been banned in the country in decades and quickly rescinded it after the media firestorm that followed. The book depicts the country before the collapse, and then explores recent events in Egypt and the realization of the predicted revolution. Through interviews with ordinary Egyptians and extensive travels in the country, Bradley reveals why Egypt was vulnerable to a popular uprising and how it could bring about an Iranian-style theocracy in a country once noted for its plurality and tolerance."

Descriere

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Egypt in 2008 - the first time a book on Egyptian politics had been banned in the country in decades - and quickly rescinded it after the media firestorm that followed. The book depicts a country on the brink of collapse. Through interviews with ordinary Egyptians and extensive travels in the country, Bradley reveals why Egypt is now vulnerable to another popular uprising that could bring about an Iranian-style theocracy in a country once noted for its plurality and tolerance.

Caracteristici

Therewas recently a revolution inEgypt which is spreading across the Middle East. This edition features a new chapter commenting on the events of early 2011
The hardcover of this book not only predicted a revolution, it also argued that the timing of the uprising would coincide with the final perceived push to transfer power from President Hosni Mubarak to his widely despised son, Gamal. The uprising is taking place just months before key presidential elections, which were believed by most Egyptians to be the final manoeuvre to introduce hereditary succession. In addition, Bradley stressed that the Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt's largest and most disciplined opposition group, would never instigate such a revolution, but would ride the wave of popular anger once it got underway. That turned out to be precisely the Brotherhood's strategy during the current uprising
In addition to being reviewed widely Bradley has appeared onFox News, Sky News, CNN, the BBC, NPR, VOA, PBS, Air America, and CBS. With four years as a journalist living in Cairo under his belt by publication, he will again emerge as a sought-after expert

Recenzii

"Bradley's books suggests Egypt's rupture had clear omens . . . and was promptly banned by the Mubarak government." --"The New Yorker" "This dark and sober look at contemporary Egypt . . . offers a compelling explanation for the anger now being seen on the streets of Cairo." --"The Christian Science Monitor"
"Terrifically well told and extremely sobering" -- Kirkus
"In this highly readable and thoughtful volume, Bradley provides a devastating critique of Egypt's current dictatorial government." - Library Journal
""Inside Egypt "is an original, angry, brilliant, subtle, and highly readable expose of contemporary Egyptian politics and society."--Peter Bergen, author of "Holy War Inc." and "The Osama bin Laden I Know ""Egypt is the next domino to fall and, as they say, so goes Egypt so goes the Middle East. John R. Bradley hits the nail on the head, explaining why a pillar of American dominance in that part of the world is about to crumble." --Robert Baer, former Middle East-based CIA operative, author of "See No Evil "and "Sleeping with the Devil """ "John Bradley's "Inside Egypt" is an informed and immensely readable addition to this literature" --Michael Burleigh, "Kefaya""" ."..a must read for anyone interested in Egyptian politics." --Nathan Field, "Daily News Egypt"
