The City Always Wins by Omar Robert Hamilton

2.0

This book attempts to capture the emotions and disorientations of the hijacked Egyptian revolution in all its chaotic polyvocality and unfortunately (for such an important history) comes up short. The author assumes you are familiar with all the political twists and turns, and throws you right into battle after overlapping battle, teleporting you between milestones with little context and scene-setting. Reading this over three days exhausted me completely- and perhaps that was the ultimate intent.
