The agents of coercion in Egypt—military, police, and intelligence services—vied for dominance until the 2011 revolution forced an alliance against the revolutionary aspirations of the people. Hossam el-Hamalawy, a journalist and activist, looks into the inner workings of this security apparatus in Counterrevolution in Egypt. His book reveals strategies deployed to suppress the revolutionary wave, from propaganda and surveillance to extrajudicial killings.
