When protesters in Egypt began to fill Cairo's Tahrir Square on
January 25, 2011 - and refused to leave until their demand that
Hosni Mubarak step down was met - the politics of the region
changed overnight. And the United States' long friendship with the
man who had ruled under emergency law for thirty years came starkly
into question. The Road to Tahrir Square is the first book to
connect past and present - from Franklin D. Roosevelt's brief
meeting with King Farouk near the end of World War II to Barack
Obama's 2009 speech in Cairo, and the recent fall of Mubarak -
offering readers an understanding of the events and forces
determining American policy in this vitally important region.
Making full use of the available records - including the
controversial WikiLeaks archive - renowned historian Lloyd C.
Gardner shows how the United States has sought to influence Egypt
through economic aid, massive military assistance, and CIA
manipulations, efforts that have immediate implications for how the
current crisis will alter the balance of power in the Middle East.
As millions around the world ponder how the Egyptian Revolution
will change the face of the region and the world, here is both a
fascinating story of past policies and an essential guide to
possible futures.
