The page's following expanded quickly and moved from online protests to a nonconfrontational movement. On January 25, 2011, Tahrir Square resounded with calls for change. Yet just as the revolution began in earnest, Ghonim was captured and held for twelve days of brutal interrogation. After he was released, he gave a tearful speech on national television, and the protests grew more intense. Four days later, the president of Egypt was gone. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this riveting story, Ghonim takes us inside the movement and shares the keys to unleashing the power of crowds.
