• Fareed Zakaria: “This week's "Book of the Week" is Steven Koch's "Struggle For Egypt." It's a sweeping smart history of Egypt with am incredibly vivid final chapter describing the country's revolution. It's the single best book to read about Egypt right now. I thought I knew a lot about the country. I learned a lot reading this book.”
