Book Synopsis Cairo University and the Making of Modern Egypt by : Donald Malcolm Reid
Book excerpt: Cairo University has been crucially important in shaping the national life of modern Egypt. In this history, Professor Reid explains the university's part in the national quest for independence from Britain, in the perennial tension between secular and religious world-views, and in the push for a more egalitarian society.
