About this title

From Library Journal:

Coauthor El-Sa'id was a leading Egyptian Communist during the 1950s and 1960s and brings to this study firsthand knowledge and sources. The authors argue that the Communist movement was the result of the environment and socioeconomic conditions in Egypt. It wasn't Egyptians who organized a Communist movement; rather, resident Greeks in the latter part of the 19th century were really the originators, with a true party organized in 1949. Far broader than but complementary to Selma Botman's The Rise of Egyptian Communism, 1939-1970 (Syracuse Univ. Pr., 1988), this is an excellent examination of one aspect of Egyptian politics. Recommended for subject collections.
