Sommario/riassunto

'Answering the Call' explores the triumphant return of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt during the critical decade of the 1970s. It paints a portrait of a veteran leadership that attracted the cadres of a vibrant student movement pursuing Islamic activism following its disillusionment with Nasserism.
