Hazem Kandil presents the Egyptian revolution and its aftermath as the latest episodes in the ongoing power struggle between the three components of Egypt's authoritarian regime: the military, the security services and the political apparatus. A detailed study of the interactions within this invidious triangle over six decades of war, conspiracy and sociopolitical transformation, Soldiers, Spies, and Statesmen is the first systematic analysis of how Egypt metamorphosed from a military into a police state - and what that means for the future of its revolution.
