In early 2011, the world's attention was riveted on Cairo, where after three decades of supremacy, Hosni Mubarak was driven from power in a revolution that was as swift as it was explosive. For eighteen days, chaos and defiance reigned in the streets as protestors of all ages united toward the common goal of liberation. But the revolution was more than a spontaneous uprising. It was the end result of years of mounting tension. As a journalist based in Cairo, Ashraf Khalil was an eyewitness to the perfect storm that brought Mubarak down. An Egyptian- American who moved to Cairo in 1997, Khalil was subjected to teargas alongside protestors in Tahrir Square, observed and experienced incredible violence, and reported on the day-today developments from the frontlines. From the halls of power to the back alleys of Cairo, he has the kind of access few can match. Complete with coverage of the forthcoming Egyptian elections, "Liberation Square" is a revealing and dramatic look at the revolution that transformed the modern history of one of the world's oldest civilizations.

A Misrine Being Truthful About Misr

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 1 May 2012

Not only does this give a clear and concise account of the developments in Tahrir and Egypt during this critical time, Mr. Khalil offers a range of views and experiences that is rare in this sort of work. His investment in Egypt (being Egyptian, but more so being a conscientious reporter of Egypt and the Middle East for 15 years) gives his work the taste of authenticity and objective sincerity. I had lived in Cairo about a decade ago, and after reading Mr. Khalil's description of the Egyptian state of mind before the revolution, made me realise that he had spent the time to know the people and their psychological stare. That with a careful use of WWF analogies made this a wonderfully entertaining and superbly informing account of Egypt's revolution against the tyranny of the corrupt and the dull. If you only read one account of this event (I recommend you read many but this certainly be one of them), then this one will give you a clear understanding of what went on and what the various participants were thinking and feeling. The only gap is what SCAF was thinking/feeling. Mr. Khalil conjectures, and I praise his courage in doing so, but this is one important, unresolved issue, which no one really has an answer about. Perhaps the follow up will be El Mugamma El Gedida...
