A poignant, deeply human portrait of Egypt during the Arab Spring, told
through the lives of individuals
A FINANCIAL TIMES AND AN ECONOMIST BOOK OF THE YEAR
'This will be the must read on the destruction of Egypt's revolution
and democratic moment' Sarah Leah Whitson, Middle East director of
Human Rights Watch
'Sweeping, passionate ... An essential work of reportage for our time'
Philip Gourevitch, author of We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We
Will Be Killed with Our Families
In 2011, Egyptians of all sects, ages and social classes shook off
millennia of autocracy, then elected a Muslim Brother as president. New
York Times correspondent David D. Kirkpatrick arrived in Egypt with his
family less than six months before the uprising first broke out in
2011. As revolution and violence engulfed the country, he lived through
Cairo's hopes and disappointments alongside the diverse population of
his new city.
Into the Hands of the Soldiers is a heartbreaking story with a simple
message: the failings of decades of autocratic rule are the reason for
the chaos we see across the Arab world. Understanding the story of what
happened in those years can help readers make sense of everything
taking place across the region today - from the terrorist attacks in
North Sinai to the bedlam in Syria and Libya.
