Egypt on the Brink by Tarek Osman
Tarek Osman's lively account of Egypt, its recent history, and myriad internal conflicts and frustrations, was published in November 2010 to immediate acclaim. Within months, the Egyptian people had risen in protest against the regime and President Mubarak was forced to resign. In this fully revised and updated edition, Osman tells the extraordinary story of the February 2011 protests, and discusses their implications for Egypt and the rest of the world.
"'Osman writes with a focused and uncluttered style which will retain the interest of even the most general reader' (Joyce Tyldesley, Financial Times) 'A well researched and closely argued book.' (John R. Bradley, Literary Review) 'Short, readable, clear, and passionately written. A good introduction to Egypt's story.' (Boston Globe)"
Born and raised in Egypt, Tarek Osman was educated at the American University in Cairo and Bocconi University in Italy. His writings appeared in a number of publications in the United Kingdom, Europe, and the Middle East.
