Recenzje

"With his very comprehensive work Arafat manages to give detailed analysis of contemporary Egyptian politics. Although his approach is not so optimistic about the future of Egypt, many of the facts touched in his book help us to understand the current discussions in Egypt. The comprehensive information given about the 2000s makes this an indispensable volume for researchers of Egyptian politics." - The Journal of Turkish Weekly
