- Summary:
- 'Brothers Behind Bars' tells the harrowing, yet fascinating story of the Muslim Brotherhood's imprisonment in Egypt from the Palestine War in 1948 to the consolidation of President Anwar al-Sadat's rule in 1975. Based on more than 300 prison memoirs written by both Muslim brothers and sisters, the book takes the reader on a rare journey behind the prison walls to show how radicals and moderates, ministers and intelligence officers, clerics and jailers were embroiled in an epic battle to define Islam in modern Egypt.
