Reviews for Sinai
Mohannad Sabry is one of Egypt's best young writers
and one of the first to understand the new dangers in Sinai. His book has the ground truth that can only come from careful, close-up reporting. This is the kind of smart, independent journalism that Egypt needs to build a truly strong future.
