Summary, etc. This is a detailed study of the Muslim Brother-<br/>hood, a movement for religious and social reform<br/>which troubled the political life of Egypt for<br/>almost a generation until it was suppressed by<br/>the military regime in 1954; it continued after<br/>that in secret, and emerged briefly as a focus of<br/>opposition to the regime in 1965. It is divided<br/>into three parts: a narrative of the foundation,<br/>rise, and suppression of the Brotherhood; a study<br/>of its organization and methods; and an analysis<br/>of its ideology.<br/>The value of the book lies not only in its detailed<br/>investigation of an important phase in modern<br/>Egyptian history, but still more in its being almost<br/>the first attempt to study in detail the develop-<br/>ment of a kind of movement which has occurred<br/>again and again in the history of Islam: a<br/>movement which begins by calling for moral<br/>reform through a return to orthodox beliefs and<br/>piety, but which in course of time becomes a<br/>political movement aiming at the seizure of<br/>power, the destruction of a social order, and its<br/>replacement by another in which it will be<br/>possible for the devout Muslim to live without<br/>making compromises with the world.<br/>There have been three or four short books on<br/>the Muslim Brotherhood, but none of them of<br/>this scope or thoroughness. It is based on a vast<br/>collection of primary sources in Arabic (official<br/>publications of the Brotherhood, expository works<br/>by its spokesmen, reports of trials) as well as on<br/>innumerable interviews and first-hand obser-<br/>vation over a period of years. Much of this<br/>material is now no longer available, and the book<br/>will therefore remain an indispensable source for<br/>those who wish to study this movement, or this<br/>kind of movement, or the history of Egypt during<br/>this period.
