Last Days of the Pharaoh (Kindle Single)

The Last Pharaoh is a gripping inside story of the final days of Egypt’s modern-day pharaoh, Hosni Mubarak, who ruled with near autocratic powers for three decades before being forced to resign on February 11, 2011.

Cairo-based journalist Bradley Hope interviewed over two dozen eyewitnesses, including current and former officials and Mubarak's long-time makeup artist, to tell the dramatic story of the president’s downfall.

This book provides a unique perspective on the 2011 Egyptian revolution from the inside of the regime itself, revealing the bitter power struggles atop the most populous country in the Middle East at its most vulnerable moment in six decades.

With a focus on the comings and goings of the regime, The Last Pharaoh sheds light on how public faith in the regime dissolved before its eyes, and how thousands in Tahrir Square grew increasingly unwilling to settle for anything short of Mubarak’s complete relinquishing of power.

Despite his refusal to leave his country, The Last Pharaoh offers a compelling account of the final days of Egypt’s most controversial leader, providing readers with an unparalleled look at the inner workings of the regime and the forces that ultimately led to its downfall.
