Despite playing a marginal role in the spectacular 2011 Arab Spring uprising that ended Hosni Mubarak's reign, how did the Muslim Brotherhood win power so quickly in Egypt ? And why did the Brotherhood's Mohamed Morsi, the country's first democratically elected president, fall from power only 891 days after Mubarak in the face of widespread protests and then a bloody military coup ? In this book, the author examines the decisionmaking of the Brotherhood and their political arm, the Freedom and Justice Party, throughout this critical period and answers why their time in power was so short. Based in part on interviews with dozens of Brotherhood leaders and cadres including Morsi, the author argues that the very organizational characteristics that helped the Brotherhood win power also contributed to their rapid downfall. While the organization's hierarchical structure allowed them unparalleled mobilizing capabilities, their autocratic governing style alienated much of the population and united diverse groups against them. Their insularity also left them entirely unprepared for the military coup and crackdown in July and August 2013. The author concludes the book with an assessment the current state of Egyptian politics and whether or not the Brotherhood will reemerge in the future.

Ou va l'Egypte ? Le peuple a-t-il 'fait tomber le regime' comme le proclamaient les milliers de manifestants de la place Tahir en janvier 2011 ? Que s'est-t-il passe depuis la chute de Moubarak le mois suivant ? Pourquoi l'islam politique, porte par les urnes lors des premieres elections libres jamais organisees, a-t-il fait l'objet d'un rejet massif lors de la deuxieme revolution de juin 2013 ? Assiste-t-on au retablissement definitif d'un ordre autoritaire apres la represssion sanglante des Freres musulmans, l'accession a la presidence du marechal al-Sissi et l'arrestation des militants revolutionnaires ? Le pays est-il le poste avance d'une contre-revolution regionale soutenue par les monarchies du Golfe ? Plus active que jamais, la violence jihadiste peut-elle contaminer l'ensemble du spectre islamiste - a commencer par la base militante des Freres musulmans, qui s'interroge sur l'action a conduire et dont les dirigeants, condamnes par la justice, croupissent en prison ? Cet ouvrage est le premier a rendre compte des dynamiques en cours dans le pays depuis l'irruption revolutionnaire. Redige par des specialistes egyptiens, americains et francais qui ont vecu au rythme des bouleversements de l'actualite egyptienne, il eclaire l'avenir d'un geant demographique, politique et culturel dont les elans et les crises affectent l'ensemble du monde arabe et musulman.
