In this immensely readable and thoroughly researched book, Tarek Osman explores what has happened to the biggest Arab nation since President Nasser took control of the country in 1954. He examines Egypt's central role in the development of the two crucial movements of the period, Arab nationalism and radical Islam; the increasingly contentious relationship between Muslims and Christians; and perhaps most important of all, the rift between the cosmopolitan elite and the mass of the undereducated and underemployed population, more than half of whom are aged under thirty. This is an essential guide to one of the Middle East's most important but least understood states.HISTORY / Middle East / Egypt (see also Ancient / Egypt)bisacshEgyptHistory1952-1970EgyptPolitics and government1952-1970EgyptHistory1970-1981EgyptPolitics and government1970-1981EgyptHistory1981-2011EgyptPolitics and government1981-EgyptSocial conditions1952-1970EgyptSocial conditions1970-1981EgyptSocial conditions1981-HISTORY / Middle East / Egypt (see also Ancient / Egypt).962.05Osman Tarek475932MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910779242103321Egypt on the brink242465UNINA
