A Military Republic Book Blast - Win a $50 Amazon gc!


A Military Republic by Haythem Bastawy

 Egypt is in a state of turmoil, beggars have filled the streets, unemployment is at a record high, random individuals are vanishing under mysterious circumstances, and the president is grooming his son to take over. Fear clings to the air as secret police wait in dark corners and love withers under the crushing will of authority. Haythem Bastawy, an Egyptian himself, succeeds, through his captivating narrative to depict a dangerous yet absorbing world of a country in crisis and a people on the verge of  revolution. A Military Republic is a novel based on the true events that were the spark to ignite the blaze of the Egyptian Revolution.
