Product Review
Praise for Inside Egypt:
“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
Praise for Saudi Arabia Exposed:
"A highly informed, temperate, and understanding account of a country that. . . is an enigma."--The New York Times
"Contributes substantially to the debate."--Los Angeles Times
"[A] thoughtful, incisive portrait of a fractured nation….a remarkable volume."--Newsweek
Product Description
Five decades after Nasser and the Free Officers overthrew the British-backed monarchy in a dramatic coup d'état, the future of Egypt grows more uncertain by the day. John Bradley examines the junctions of Egyptian politics and society as they slowly disintegrate under the twin pressures of a ruthless military dictatorship at home and a flawed Middle East policy in Washington. Inside Egypt is a tour-de-force of the most brutal Arab state where torture and corruption are endemic--but one that is also a key U.S. all and a historic regional trendsetter. This uniquely insightful book brings to vivid life Egypt's competing identities and political trends, as the Mubarak dynasty struggles to resolve a succession crisis and the disciplined Islamists wait patiently in the wings for a chance to seize power.
