Books on the Arab spring

[Rudi]

Hey comrades

I'm looking for book recommendations dealing with the arab spring in general from a left wing point of view..of course

I am also interested in more particular book recommendations dealing with just Tunisia, or Egypt or Libya.

i dont think u will find anyworthwhile books yet, as its still ongoing and recent. ur best bet would be articles from the usual leftist magazies or newspapers

It's not about the arab spring per se, but I've been meaning to check out a book called "Egypt: The Moment of Change" by Rabab El-Mahdi and Philip Marfleet, and published by the leftist publishing house Zed Books. It was written in 2009 and basically makes the claim that Egypt is heading towards a revolt, something it seems to have been vindicated on pretty quickly.

You can buy it and read reviews here - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Egypt-Edited-Rabab-Philip-Marfleet/dp/184813021X

Also, there's some links to some similar books on that page which you might find interesting.
