 Brilliant Bits on the Brotherhood
This is an excellent book on the Muslim Brotherhood's experience in Egypt during Mubarak's rule as president. The framework is one of legitimacy on the part of both and how social welfare and civil society matters inform much of the Brotherhood's actions. Political, economic, and social issues are all covered, moving chronologically from 1982 onwards up to 2000. The author conducted many interviews with government members as well as tons of Brotherhood fellows. Also included in the appendices are four hitherto unpublished internal policy documents on the Brotherhood by the Brotherhood. All in all a well-crafted and insightful look on a religious organization's attempt to inculcate itself in a political system that, in the end, denied its place.
The author, though, really needed to have had someone else edit this text. Grammatical, syntactic, and spelling errors abound, sometimes muddying the author's intent in a passage...
