Beskrivning
When protesters in Egypt began to fill Cairo's Tahrir Square on 25 January 2011 - and refused to leave until their demand that Hosni Mubarak step down was met - the politics of the region changed overnight. The United States' long friendship with the man who had ruled under Emergency Law for 30 years came starkly into question. This is the first book to connect past and present showing how US policy has influenced this country. Gardner makes use of all available records - including the controversial Wikileaks archive - to expose a less than savoury relationship

"When it comes to understanding the tangle of contradictions addling present-day U. S. policy in the Arab world, Lloyd Gardner has become our most astute guide. This compact, timely, and altogether admirable study is his best yet." —Andrew J. Bacevich, author of Washington Rules: America's Path to Permanent War"This book is a clear, concise and insightful account of Egypt’s long decline, focusing on both the mistakes of its own leaders and the ignorant meddling of outside powers. It provides valuable answers to the questions many Americans asked as they watched the recent Egyptian uprising: 'Why is this happening? How did we get here? What does it mean?'"—Stephen Kinzer, former New York Times correspondent and author of Overthrow: America’s Century of Regime Change from Hawaii to Iraq"[A] thought-provoking distillation of the convoluted dealings between diplomats and governments that calls for a new tack, in which American actions finally match our rhetoric."—Publishers Weekly
