It is one of the ways that i try to draw out the key lessons. Even though this book is told from the american perspective, there are lessons here as well. This very brief overview does not even begin to do justice to gems, ofts, the historical insight in this book. Historian and fascinated by the cycles of history, to see the repetition of the same words administration after Administration Area did mistake after mistake mistake it is truly fascinating area of but for someone who made no mistakes i now turn to tom. Some opening remarks about the book in your experience. About myd tell you mistakes but you are not cleared. [laughter] let me say couple of opening things and maybe four to five operations. Great to be here in your new facilities and it is great to be here with a surprise from my counterpart. Its delightful to see you here today. We had a very terrific relationship. Grateful that you asked me to come talk about this book. Agolast book or two books that was 805 pages. But it
The individual, checks and balances, freedom, liberty and so forth. As i said, trying to channel arab nationalism into the western camp into the cold war. Ive in looking at how the United States thought about this and the strategy they developed, ive come to the conclusion that there was a kind of map that the americans had that was above all of their all of their policy discussions. A kind of paradigm. I actually started thinking this way. I worked, if i could give you a personal anecdote, i worked in the white house in the george w. Bush administration. And i had a had come from academia, which i thought prepared me for policy work. And then i went to the white house and realized, actually, it prepared me for nothing.

Forth had this popularity. The first thing is, i dont think it was that popular. These guys were always a small fringe. The mainstream of Egyptian Society was not like that. But it did have popularity in some quarters obviously.

Of course, a lot of them were appointed by the government. They would have been fired if they had spoken out. Its kind of like in any society when something is going on that the young people feel is just wrong, then you get protests and sometimes even violence.
