This massive compilation provides a complete picture of Egypt as it confronts the protests of 2011. Over 500 pages of up-to-date information with professional analysis and background data about Egyptian politics, the rule of Hosni Mubarak, the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood, NDP, opposition parties, human rights, economics, military and national security, U.S. aid, energy, agriculture, history, travel information, and much more. The U.S. response to the January 2011 protests and turmoil is included; extensive histories put the current situation into perspective. There is material from many agencies of the American government, including the experts at the Federal Research Division. Egypt country background data provides data on key parameters, people and history, industry, natural resources, U.S.- Egyptian relations, travel and business information, and more. The Library of Congress Federal Research Division Country Study is an exceptional review of Egypt and its history, backed up by an extensive bibliography. Books in the Country Studies series describe and analyze "political, economic, social, and national security systems and institutions, and examin[e] the interrelationships of those systems and the ways they are shaped by cultural factors. The authors seek to provide a basic understanding of the observed society, striving for a dynamic rather than a static portrayal. Particular attention is devoted to the people who make up the society, their origins, dominant beliefs and values, their common interests and the issues on which they are divided, the nature and extent of their involvement with national institutions, and their attitudes toward each other and toward their social system and political order."
