Understanding the Muslim Brotherhood
Journal Title: NETSOL: New Trends in Social and Liberal Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
The status of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt presently is, at best, tenuous. Accordingly, some questions that are pertinent for today and tomorrow include: Is this movement in Egypt that at one point attained a pinnacle of success beyond its members' wildest dreams alive and well? If not, can the movement in Egypt still make a comeback? The three books selected for review offer insights on these and other related questions from different points of view.
