| Summary |
The eighteen-day revolt that ended Hosni Mubarak's thirty years of rule marked a historic turning point in the political fortunes not only of Egypt, but of the entire Middle East. While the impact of that seminal event will continue to unfold for years, this volume, written by members of the Department of Political Science at the American University in Cairo, presents a timely and authoritative exploration of the circumstances and implications -- both political and theoretical -- that surrounded what has come to be known as the Tahrir Revolution. -- Publisher description |
