Nuanced, complex, well-written, and highly informative.

DNF. Tedious. Tortuous. The preface alone is over 30 pages. Disappointed as I have seen the author on television and his attempt to tell the story of Qutb while simultaneously telling Nasser’s story sounded quite intriguing.

A well-written history and framework to understand the post Hassan al-Banna split between the Muslim Brotherhood/Ikhwan and the Arab nationalist/secularist factions in Egyptian politics and in greater conflicts in the Middle East.
