Easy to read history and facts

I don't like reading history. I usually read fiction. But I read this book in three days. I didn't feel lost at any point and felt I understood what was going on in Egypt in that period.

helpful for college

I took a class in modern Egyptian politics and this book really helped me understand and become more interested in Egypt in a transitional period.

A book for attentive students and their professors

I use this in my class to teach my students in my Introduction to Middle Eastern and North African History. If they don't read it, they fail. If they read it and try to understand it, they will probably get a C. This is a great classroom tool for all teachers interested in Middle Eastern history. Use it.

A book about Egypt, and a damn good one at that

i read this book as a supplement to my current course in middle eastern politics, spanning from 1800-the present. this book was very informative in explaing the reasons for revolution and instability in eygpt. this was very helpful for my final papaer and exam, and i recommend it to any poli-sci majors.
