When a popular revolt forced long-ruling Egyptian President Hosni
Mubarak to resign on February 11, 2011, US President Barack Obama
hailed the victory of peaceful demonstrators in the heart of the
Arab World. But Washington was late to endorse democracy - for
decades the United States favored Egypt's rulers over its people.
Since 1979, the United States had provided the Egyptian regime with
more than $60 billion in aid and immeasurable political support to
secure its main interests in the region: Israeli security and
strong relations with Persian Gulf oil producers. During the
Egyptian uprising, the White House did not promote popular
sovereignty but instead backed an 'orderly transition' to one of
Mubarak's cronies. Even after protesters derailed that plan, the
anti-democratic US-Egyptian alliance continued. Using untapped
primary materials, this book helps explain why authoritarianism has
persisted in Egypt with American support, even as policy makers
claim to encourage democratic change.
