If the Middle East is to achieve a more stable and prosperous future, Egypt-which possesses the\u003cbr\u003eregion's largest population, a formidable military, and considerable soft power-must play a central role. \u003cem\u003eModern Egypt: What Everyone Needs to Know(R)\u003c\/em\u003e by Bruce Rutherford and Jeannie Sowers introduces readers to this influential country.

It analyzes Egypt's core problems, including deepening authoritarianism, high unemployment, widespread poverty, rapid\u003cbr\u003epopulation growth, and pollution. The book then concentrates on Egypt's relations with the United States, Israel, Arab states, and other world powers.\u003cem\u003e Modern Egypt\u003c\/em\u003e concludes by assessing the country's ongoing challenges and suggesting strategies for addressing them.
