Editorial Reviews

In this broad-ranging survey, Botman analyzes mainstream political and social forces and the political activism among people in such groups as Young Egypt, the Muslim Brotherhood, and the Communist movement. She also looks closely at the role of the Wafd, then the foremost nationalist body in Egypt fighting for independence from the British. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
