Mohammed el-Nawawy is Charles A. Dana Professor of International Communication and Middle Eastern Studies, Department of Political Science and Sociology, Queens University of Charlotte, NC. Mohamad Hamas Elmasry is Associate Professor and Chair in the Media and Cultural Studies and Journalism programs at the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies. He is also a faculty member in the Department of Communications at the University of North Alabama.

The ‘Arab Spring’ brought the Muslim Brotherhood to power in Egypt but the Islamist movement was not able to, or allowed to, retain authority. El-Nawawy and Elmasry’s insightful account provides a helpful guide to a failed political revolution, despite the group’s sophisticated communication strategy. Highly recommended.
