The 18-day revolt that ended Hosni Mubarak's 30 years of rule marked a historic turning point in the political fortunes not only of Egypt, but of the entire Middle East. While the impact of that seminal event will continue to unfold for years, this volume presents an authoritative exploration of the circumstances and implications—both political and theoretical—what has come to be known as the Tahrir Revolution.
Dan Tschirgi (1946—2026) was professor emeritus of political science at American University in Cairo (AUC). Walid Kazziha is professor of political science at AUC. Sean F. McMahon is an academic tutor and instructor at Athabasca University.
