My Egypt Archive

Delve into the inner workings of an authoritarian regime with this captivating account of modern Egypt. Renowned historian Alan Mikhail spent years immersed in the Egyptian National Archives, uncovering the intricate hierarchies, rivalries, and petty cruelties that defined the country's bureaucratic landscape in the decade leading up to the Arab Spring. Through his meticulous research, Mikhail reveals the everyday authoritarianism that shaped Egypt's institutions and ultimately contributed to the nation's tumultuous transformation. This engaging on-the-ground narrative offers a unique perspective on the complex forces that drove the Arab Spring, making it a must-read for historians, scholars, and anyone interested in the intricacies of modern Middle Eastern politics. By exploring the microcosm of Egypt's bureaucratic workings, Mikhail sheds light on the darker aspects of authoritarianism and the human experiences that underlie it.
