W. Andrew Terrill, Middle East Journal Holmes has written a useful and extremely fine-grained analysis...Holmes served as a faculty member at the American University in Cairo during most of the events she analyzes, and the work is enriched by the author's eyewitness experience of Egyptian turmoil and her interviews of numerous participants in revolutionary activity.
Sahar Aziz, Professor of Law and Chancellors Social Justice Scholar, Rutgers University Among the myriad examinations of Egypt's historic January 25th Revolution and its aftermath, Coups and Revolutions stands out for its cogent empirical analysis. Moving beyond the debates on authoritarianism, Dr. Holmes provides an insightful theoretical frame for comprehending the waves of revolutions and counter-revolutions in Egyptians' continual quest for democracy.
Hossam el-Hamalawy, journalist and labor organizer Coups and Revolutions is one of the best, most detailed accounts of how the counterrevolution managed to crush the Egyptian people's aspirations for political and social change. It is essential reading for scholars and revolutionaries alike to understand what went wrong with the revolt that shook the region ten years ago.
Dalia Fahmy, Associate Professor of Political Science, Long Island University In Coups and Revolutions, Holmes analyzes the recent waves of social mobilization in Egypt as a historical process. In doing so, she takes the reader on a journey to understanding the dynamic processes with which coups, revolutions, and counter-coups evolve and create their counter-currents.

This rich analysis adds an important lens to both the literature and the current debates on social movements and mass mobilization.

Hesham Shafick, Teaching Fellow at SOAS, University of London In contesting the pervasive juxtaposition of the opposition elite with the regime elite, Holmes deploys a class lens that brings them together as one ruling political/financial bloc.
