Soldiers, Spies, and Statesmen

Autor Hazem Kandil
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 dec 2013
Hazem Kandil presents the Egyptian revolution and its aftermath as the latest episodes in the ongoing power struggle between the three components of Egypt’s authoritarian regime: the military, the security services and the political apparatus. A detailed study of the interactions within this invidious triangle over six decades of war, conspiracy and sociopolitical transformation, Soldiers, Spies, and Statesmen is the first systematic analysis of how Egypt metamorphosed from a military into a police state—and what that means for the future of its revolution.

The paperback includes an afterword that examines the 2013 overthrough of Morsi and the present state of politics and society in Egypt.

Recenzii

"Soldiers, Spies, and Statesmen serves as an indispensable read for anyone seeking clarity on the ongoing struggle between the military, security and political apparatuses of Egypt's autocracy."—World Policy Journal

"Hazem Kandil has written a brilliant revisionist account of the origins of the Egyptian Revolution. He focuses on how the regime’s repressive forces fell apart, making revolution possible. I found it eye-opening and convincing—a triumph."—Michael Mann, author of The Dark Side of Democracy

"This is a fascinating book that should be required reading for anybody interested in Egypt’s past and what happens next. It gives a unique insight into what the military and security forces were thinking and doing, and why they were not the monolithic force that most had imagined."—Patrick Cockburn, author of The Occupation
