Download Liberation Square: Inside the Egyptian Revolution and the Rebirth of a Nation AudioBook Free
A definitive, absorbing consideration of the Egyptian revolution, written by a Cairo-based Egyptian-American reporter for Foreign Coverage and The Times (London), who observed firsthand Mubarak's demise and the country's efforts to create a democracy. In early 2011, the world's attention was riveted on Cairo, where after three years of supremacy, Hosni Mubarak was driven from power. It was a revolution as swift as it was explosive. For 18 days and nights, anger, defiance, and resurgent nationwide satisfaction reigned in the roadways - protestors of most ages struck back against authorities and state security, united toward the normal goal of liberation. But the revolution was more than a spontaneous uprising. It was the end result of many years of mounting tension, due to circumstances that shamelessly abused its authority, rigging elections, silencing opposition, and violently attacking its individuals. When revolution bloomed in your community in January 2011, Egypt was a country whose patience got expired - with a people abruptly primed for liberation. As being a journalist based in Cairo, Ashraf Khalil was an eyewitness to the perfect storm that helped bring down Mubarak and his routine. Khalil was put through rip gas alongside protestors in Tahrir Square, hardly escaped an enraged mob, and observed the day-to-day improvements from the frontlines. Through the halls of power to the back alleys of Cairo, he offers a one-of-a-kind look at a land in the throes of the uprising. Liberation Square is a revealing and dramatic look at the revolution that altered the modern background of 1 of the world's oldest civilizations.
