The remarkable inside story, by the head of Egypt's radio and television, reveals what was really going on behind the scenes during the Tahrir Square insurgency - how the seeds of revolution were sown and how a group of disaffected youth emerged from nowhere to bring down one of the world's longest running leaders. Foreword by Michael Binyon
For 18 days of his life, starting the 25th of January 2011 up to the 11th of February, Abdel Latif El Menawy slept in his office inside Egypt's State TV building. The landmark building behind Tahrir Square was under constant siege, locked down by tanks and barbed wire as protesters massed outside the building. Throughout events, he was constantly in touch with the President and the ruling clique led by the President's son and heir apparent, Gamal, as well as senior government ministers and officers at the highest levels of the Defence and Intelligence services. All the while, he kept the TV channels running, working with a skeleton crew of exhausted, scared, yet committed journalists and technicians.
