“A superbly constructed compilation of Hugh Roberts’s writings that marries his key, near-contemporaneous writings about the uprisings in Libya, Egypt and Syria with his more recent reflections on those events”
—Helena Cobban, President of Just World Educational, author of The Palestinian Liberation Organisation
“Hugh Roberts’s incisive and insightful analysis of the Arab Spring draws on his intimate knowledge and careful tracing of events in Libya, Egypt and Syria to subvert the myths and falsehoods that led to political mistakes. Essential reading.”
—Katerina Dalacoura, London School of Economics, author of Islamist Terrorism and Democracy in the Middle East
“Roberts’s insight-laden book unravels multilayered legacies, temporalities and dynamics that are at the heart of understanding the Arab uprisings and their far-reaching consequences”
—Tamirace Fakhoury, Aalborg University, co-author of Resisting Sectarianism
“This is an essential book on the Arab Spring. Every chapter is filled with golden nuggets. Roberts foresaw that the uprisings would end in tears. He had tangled with the military regimes of the region long enough to know that toppling them would not be easy.”
—Joshua Landis, Director of the Center of Middle East Studies, University of Oklahoma
“Hugh Roberts’s encyclopaedic knowledge, sharp insights and superb writing are on full display in this important collection of essays. Loved Egyptian Night presents an essential corrective to much of the conventional wisdom about the region’s decade of upheaval.”
—Mouin Rabbani, co-editor of Jadaliyya
