A University professor has written a new book predicting the downfall of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and the aftermath of the collapse of his regime.
“The Last Pharaoh: Mubarak and the Uncertain Future of Egypt in the Volatile Mid East” by Aladdin Elaasar dissects political life in Egypt and other Arab countries. He exposes the deep corruption, grave human rights abuses and authoritarianism of the Mubarak regime. Elaasar is the author of “Silent Victims.”
Born, raised and educated in Egypt, Elaasar is an expert on Egypt and the Arab world. He is a former professor of Arabic language and area studies at the Defense Language Institute and the Monterey Institute of International Studies. Elaasar is a frequent commentator on the Middle East on American television and radio networks.
“The Last Pharaoh” tells the story of ancient Egypt and how the modern Arab and Islamic worlds evolved. It includes interviews with politicians, journalists and Western diplomats. Elaasar reveals how Mubarak and other Middle Eastern leaders exploit religion to give legitimacy to their oppressive regimes and how these efforts breed extremism and undermine America’s efforts in the war on terror.
“Combining an uncanny sense of clarity and understatement, Aladdin Elaasar weaves Egypt’s historical grandeur with an unnerving cascade of political intrigue that reveals a side of Mubarak the world cannot long ignore,” said Tate Miller, professor and senior lecturer at the Monterey Institute of International Studies. “In one fell swoop, the reader’s admiration for Egypt is both strengthened, and the source of unease revealed, as the author sheds light on the darkness of Egyptian politics that could one day turn catastrophic.”
