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. 606 $aHISTORY / Middle East / Egypt (see also Ancient / Egypt)$2bisacsh 607 $aEgypt$xHistory$y1952-1970 607 $aEgypt$xPolitics and government$y1952-1970 607 $aEgypt$xHistory$y1970-1981 607 $aEgypt$xPolitics and government$y1970-1981 607 $aEgypt$xHistory$y1981-2011 607 $aEgypt$xPolitics and government$y1981- 607 $aEgypt$xSocial conditions$y1952-1970 607 $aEgypt$xSocial conditions$y1970-1981 607 $aEgypt$xSocial conditions$y1981- 615 7$aHISTORY / Middle East / Egypt (see also Ancient / Egypt). 676 $a962.05 700 $aOsman$b Tarek$0475932 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779242103321 996 $aEgypt on the brink$9242465 997 $aUNINA
