'This is a wonderful book. It has been extremely difficult to find an angle to analyse the attitude towards Israel in Egypt and Ewan Stein has found the right one. By analysing it in a broader ideological and political context in Egypt and the Arab world, Stein has had to read a tremendous amount of Arabic literature from a host of different currents. As a result, not only does the reader obtain a view of Egyptian politicians and thinkers on Israel, but he/she also acquires an overview of all the different currents that have been active in Egypt from the 1930s until now. This is a rare feat, because one is easily lost and distracted in the web of ideologies and figures who have formed the image of Zionism in Egypt...In this book, both in its scope as well as its theoretical approach with regard to the 'internal' approach and state-society relations, rather than an Arab point of view, he demonstrates how important it is to incorporate the internal dimension in explaining a phenomenon which is otherwise always analysed only in terms of foreign policy and foreign interests.'
